One reason for her success is the versatile scope of her classically-oriented oeuvre, which she rethinks across multiple media and categories. Yet an equally significant reason is her profile as a classicist. In this role, Carson unfailingly refuses to conform to the established conventions and situated practices of her discipline, in favour of a mode of reading classical literature that allows for interpretative and creative freedom. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom a multi-praxis, cross-disciplinary perspective, the volume explores the erudite \u003ci\u003ein\u003c\/i\u003ediscipline of Carson's classicism as it emerges in her poetry, translations, essays, and visual artistry. It argues that her classicism is irreducible to a single vision, and that it is best approached as integral to the protean character of her artistic thought. \u003ci\u003eAnne Carson\/Antiquity\u003c\/i\u003e collects twenty essays by poets, translators, artists, practitioners and scholars. It offers the first collective study of the author's classicism, while drawing attention to one of the most avant-garde, multifaceted readings of the classical past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laura Jansen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/18\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Studies in Classical Reception\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.66d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350256071","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45133413908617,"sku":"9781350256071","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_673b10f2-bba9-43a4-931e-5c48ff61bccc.jpg?v=1767678105","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/anne-carson-antiquity-9781350256071","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
