Pushing the Boundaries of Historia collects together 20 chapters, whose coverage extends from the prehistory of Greece through early Christianity in the Roman Empire to the reception of classical texts by contemporary playwrights and poets. The essays range beyond Greece and Rome to the ancient realms of Persia and China and explore a vast array of ancient authors – Homer, Herodotus, Thucydides, Euripides, Vergil, Ovid, Livy, and Tacitus.
Written by philologists, historians, epigraphers, palaeographers, archaeologists, and art historians, it brings together the best of old and new traditions of classical study, from senior emeritus faculty with established records of scholarly productivity, to the newest generation of classics and archaeology professors. What draws together the disparate strands of academic inquiry found in these pages is a passion for understanding how the lessons of the world of the ancient Greeks, Romans, and their still lamentably understudied neighbors, can offer commentary on the contemporary world.
Mary C. English is currently Professor of Classics and General Humanities at Montclair State University, USA. In addition to publishing articles on Aristophanes as well as on the reception of Greek tragedy, she is the co-author, with Georgia L. Irby, of A Little Latin Reader (2011; 2nd ed. 2017) and A New Latin Primer (2015).
Lee M. Fratantuono is Professor and Chair of Classics at Ohio Wesleyan University, USA. Among other works on Latin literature and Roman history, he is the co-editor Aeneid 5 (2015) and Aeneid 8 (2018).
