Leading and emerging, early career scholars in Classical Reception
Studies come together in this volume to explore the under-represented
area of the Australasian Classical Tradition. They interrogate the
interactions between Mediterranean Antiquity and the antipodean worlds
of New Zealand and Australia through the lenses of literature, film,
theatre and fine art. Of interest to scholars across the globe who
research the influence of antiquity on modern literature, film,
theatre and fine art, this volume fills a decisive gap in the
literature by bringing antipodean research into the spotlight.
Following a contextual introduction to the field, the six parts of the
volume explore the latest research on subjects that range from the
Lord of the Rings and Xena: Warrior Princess franchises to important
artists such as Sidney Nolan and local authors whose work offers
opportunities for cross-cultural and interdisciplinary analysis with
well-known Western authors and artists.
