The Oxford History of Classical Reception (OHCREL), of which the
present volume is the first to appear, is designed to offer a
comprehensive investigation of the numerous and diverse ways in
which literary texts of the classical world have been responded to
and refashioned by English writers. Covering the full range of
English literature from the early Middle Ages to the present day,
OHCREL both synthesizes existing scholarship and presents
cutting-edge new research, employing an international team of
expert contributors for each of the volumes. OHCREL endeavours to
interrogate, rather than inertly reiterate, conventional
assumptions about literary 'periods', the processes of
canon-formation, and the relations between literary and
non-literary discourse. It conceives of 'reception' as a complex
process of dialogic exchange and, rather than offering large
cultural generalizations, it engages in close critical analysis of
literary texts. It explores in detail the ways in which English
writers' engagement with classical literature casts as much light
on the classical originals as it does on the English writers' own
cultural context. When completed, this 5-volume history will be one
of the largest, and potentially most important projects, in the
field of classical reception ever undertaken. This third volume
covers the years 1660-1790.
