Thomas Heywood and the Classical Tradition (Hardcover)

This volume offers the first in-depth investigation of Thomas
Heywood's engagement with the classics. Its introduction and twelve
essays trace how the classics shaped Heywood's work in a variety of
genres across a writing career of over forty years, ranging from
drama, epic and epyllion, to translations, compendia and the design
of a warship for Charles I. Close readings demonstrate the
influence of a capaciously conceived classical tradition that
included continental editions and translations of Latin and Greek
texts, early modern mythographies and the medieval tradition of
Troy. They attend to Heywood's thought-provoking imitations and
juxtapositions of these sources, his use of myth to interrogate
gender and heroism, and his turn to antiquity to celebrate and
defamiliarise the theatrical or political present. Heywood's
better-known works are discussed alongside critically neglected
ones, making the collection valuable for undergraduates and
researchers alike. -- .
