Anne Carson (b. June 21, 1950, in Toronto, Canada) is one of the
most versatile of contemporary classicists, poets and translators
in the English language. In this book, Ruprecht explores the role
played by generic transgressions on the one hand, and by embodied
spirituality on the other, throughout Carson's ambitious literary
career. Where others see classical dichotomies (soul versus body,
Classical versus Christian), Carson sees connection. Like Nietzsche
before her, Carson decries the image of the Classics as merely
bookish, and classicists as disembodied intellects. She has brought
religious, bodily erotics back into the heart of the classical
tradition.
