An updated history of classical philology had long been a
desideratum of scholars of the ancient world. The volume edited by
Diego Lanza and Gherardo Ugolini is structured in three parts. In
the first one ("Towards a science of antiquity") the approach of
Anglo-Saxon philology (R. Bentley) and the institutionalization of
the discipline in the German academic world (C.G. Heyne and F.A.
Wolf) are described. In the second part ("The illusion of the
archetype. Classical Studies in the Germany of the 19th Century")
the theoretical contributions and main methodological disputes that
followed are analysed (K. Lachmann, J.G. Hermann, A. Boeckh, F.
Nietzsche and U. von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff). The last part ("The
classical philology of the 20th century") treats the redefinition
of classical studies after the Great War in Germany (W. Jaeger) and
in Italy (G. Pasquali). In this context, the contributions of
papyrology and of the new images of antiquity that have emerged in
the works of writers, narrators, and translators of our time have
been considered. This part finishes with the presentation of some
of the most influential scholars of the last decades (B. Snell,
E.R. Dodds, J.-P. Vernant, B. Gentili, N. Loraux).
