How is the history of antiquity told, and what is the role of
narrativity in transforming the image of antiquity? This volume
addresses the highly charged intersection between experience,
narrative, and history that may be apprehended when we consider the
great diversity of narrative practices in literature, the visual
arts, and historiography. Individual chapters explore
transformations in the imagery, content, stories, and narrative
modes of antiquity as they were appropriated in medieval and early
modern chronicles, images, and epics.
Antiquity serves as a reference point for diverse forms of
self-understanding in Western cultural and intellectual history.
This raises questions concerning the degree to which the spatial,
epistemic, and material dimensions of antiquity are relevant to
processes of appropriation. This compendium explores the
productivity of such limits by means of examples taken from
different eras and disciplines."
