Classical Receptions Journal

Posted on by Lynn Cunningham

Classical Receptions Journal covers all aspects of the reception of the texts and material culture of ancient Greece and Rome from antiquity to the present day. It aims to explore the relationships between transmission, interpretation, translation, transplantation, rewriting, redesigning and rethinking of Greek and Roman material in other contexts and cultures. It addresses the implications both for the receiving contexts and for the ancient, and compares different types of linguistic, textual and ideological interactions. The journal promotes cross-disciplinary exchange and debates at the interface between subjects.

Classical Receptions Journal is available on the Classics Resources page, under Electronic Journals.
