Table of ContentsReviewsA well-rounded study highlighting the importance of Greco-Roman history and culture for many Australians and New Zealanders, from convicts to colonisers, ranging from novelists to poets to painters and film-makers. This is exemplary Classical Reception practice. -- Maxine Lewis, Lecturer in Classics and Ancient History, University of Auckland, New Zealand This is a timely book, given current debates about teaching 'western civilisation' in our universities.

The volume showcases a rich variety of theoretical and methodological approaches, and has the added benefit of presenting familiar classical materials in distinctly unfamiliar contexts, replete with their own unique social and cultural pressures and local systems of scholarship. * Greece & Rome * A well-rounded study highlighting the importance of Greco-Roman history and culture for many Australians and New Zealanders, from convicts to colonisers, ranging from novelists to poets to painters and film-makers.
