This is the story of how these ruined cities inspired bold reconstructions of the Trojan War and its aftermath, how archaeological discoveries in the Troad and North Africa sparked dramatic debates, and how their ruins were exploited to conceptualise problematic relationships between past, present and future. Rachel Bryant Davies breaks new ground in the afterlife of classical antiquity by revealing more complex and less constrained interaction with classical knowledge across a broader social spectrum than yet understood, drawing upon methodological developments from disciplines such as history of science and theatre history in order to do so. She also develops a thorough critical framework for understanding classical burlesque and engages in in-depth analysis of a toy-theatre production. 650 0 $a English literature $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 651 0 $a Troy (Extinct city) $x In literature. 650 0 $a Trojan War $x Literature and the war. 651 0 $a Carthage (Extinct city) $x In literature. 650 0 $a English literature $x Classical influences. 650 7 $a Antike $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4068754-5 650 7 $a Literatur $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4035964-5 650 7 $a Rezeption $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4049716-1 650 7 $a Englisch $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4014777-0 650 7 $a Troja $g Motiv $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4402777-1 650 7 $a Karthago $g Motiv $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4442224-6 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231018023719.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8E618446840911E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
