In this bold book, Jonas Grethlein proposes a new dialogue between
the fields of Classics and aesthetics. Ancient material, he argues,
has the capacity to challenge and re-orientate current debates.
Comparisons with modern art and literature help to balance the
historicism of classical scholarship with transcultural theoretical
critique. Grethlein discusses ancient narratives and pictures in
order to explore the nature of aesthetic experience. While our
responses to both narratives and pictures are vicarious, the
'as-if' on which they are premised is specifically shaped by the
form of the representation. Form emerges as a key to how narratives
and pictures constitute an important means of engaging with
experience. Combining theoretical reflections with close readings,
this book will appeal to art historians as well as to textual
scholars.
