Tony Harrison and the Classics comprises fifteen chapters examining
the lasting importance of Tony Harrison's classical education, the
extent of the influence of Greek and Roman texts on his subjects,
themes, and styles, his contribution to knowledge and understanding
of classical literature, his popularization of classical works, and
his innovative treatment of classical drama in plays which have
been performed globally. Harrison's work fosters debates about the
role and perception of the classics and adaptations of classical
literature in relation to education, 'high' and 'popular' culture,
accessibility, and reception. A unifying theme of the collection is
the way in which Harrison finds in classical literature fruitful
matter for the articulation and dramatization of his longstanding
preoccupations: language, class, access to art, and the causes and
effects of war. Through his adaptations and translations, Harrison
uses classical drama to stage interventions in modern politics, but
neither idealizes nor romanticizes the ancient world, depicting
inequality, bigotry, greed, and brutality.
