Important Evidence

Within a framework that shows how Sappho’s reception in antiquity has important implications for Sappho scholarship, our understanding of Roman poetry, and of classical reception studies in general, the introduction outlines the extant output of Sappho, including the newest Sappho text (2016), as well as the chapters of the present volume. The introduction departs from three Sappho scholars, Welcker (1784–1868), Wilamowitz-Moellendorff (1848–1931), and Robinson (1880–1958), and reflects on the scholarly implications of how their times were ideologically different from ours. By revisiting important evidence for Sappho’s ancient reception, such as the Parian Marble, coins, figurative representations of Sappho, and considering recent papyrus finds from the Roman era, the introduction zooms in on Roman literature, which is the main focus of the present volume. Then there follows a brief presentation of Sappho’s extant output and an ample thematic presentation of the chapters in the volume. Finally, the introduction discusses Shane Butler’s new concept of Deep Classics in the context of Sappho’s Roman reception, and points towards another metaphor, this time from art, as a means to pursue future reception studies, using the restored Sappho fragment that was retrieved in 2004, known as ‘Posthumous honour for Sappho’, to illustrate the point.

Concert Halls

Copious geographies of nineteenth-century London spectacle have been mapped following different scales and criteria. In this article, I invite readers to scrutinise London’s entertainment industry in 1893 focusing on the venues where modern reconfigurations and adaptations of Greek and Roman mythology by women were first staged. Such a map reveals microhistories of the streets, theatres, pleasure gardens and concert halls, where women as creators and agents of the classical revival played an essential role that has generally been forgotten by theatre historians and classical reception studies. As I aim to demonstrate, this new and gendered cartography challenges the notion of a classical repertoire and the boundaries between the popular and the legitimate.

The Future

In the introduction Dufallo lays out the volume’s main arguments, briefly summarizes its contents, explains its relation to recent work in classical reception studies, and advances its theoretical claim in response to the poststructuralist view of classical reception advanced especially by Charles Martindale. All reception could be considered “error” insofar as it involves “misreading” in the sense elaborated by Harold Bloom. But the essays in this volume reveal specific ways in which reception’s transgressive content may relate to its transgressive form or style because of the investments of receivers in a future that will view that content differently: the particular social, cultural, or political projects in which authors, artists, etc. participate as they set in motion the infinite malleability of signs. This foregrounds a pair of issues that have figured centrally in recent debates over classical reception: its relation to collective, as opposed to individual, receivers and to the future.

The Relationship

This introduction explains the overall critical framework of the collection and provides a brief overview of the book’s topics and goals. In so doing, it explores Ovid on the early modern stage; the interconnections between Ovid, the classical concept of imitatio, and contemporary adaptation theory; the relationship between classical reception studies and adaptation theory; the interplay between Ovid and Shakespeare adaptation/appropriation studies. Following this discussion, the introduction describes the organizational structure and rationale of the book and previews the chapters, noting how sections and chapters relate to each other.

The myriad and potent effects of Mediterranean antiquity in a diversity of cultural and social contexts constitutes a field of research which for some decades has been known as “(Classical) reception studies.” The two special issues of IJSNR introduced here (and the consolidated book volume which follows) contain the fruits of the 2014 workshop “New Antiquities”, which departed from this scholarly enterprise in examining what we have called “Transformations of Ancient Religion.”

Classical Reception

Classical Reception Studies has developed over the last twenty years, with Classicists and Ancient Historians finding never-ending sources of academic inspiration. With its origins in Comparative Literature Studies and the Classical Tradition, Classical Reception Studies has extended beyond textual analyses to include the visual arts, film, popular culture, and socio-political histories and philosophies. It has also extended beyond Britain and Europe – its traditional strongholds – to research embedded in the influence of ancient Mediterranean cultures on the Antipodes.
