A pathbreaking study of the role played by ancient Greek and Roman
sources and voices in the struggle to abolish transatlantic slavery
and in representations of that struggle in the twentieth century.
Thirteen essays by an interdisciplinary team of specialists from
three continents, led by the Centre for the Reception of Greece and
Rome at Royal Holloway University of London, ask how both critics
and defenders of slavery in media ranging from parliamentary
speeches to poetry, fiction, drama, and cinema have summoned the
ghosts of the ancient Spartans, Homer, Aristotle, Aeschylus, Pliny,
Spartacus, and Prometheus to support their arguments.
