Remaking the Classics

Literature, Genre and Media in Britain 1800-2000. Edited by Christopher Stray.

Focusing on nineteenth- and twentieth-century Britain, the book looks at a range of different genres (epic, novel, lyric, tragedy, political pamphlet). Within the published texts considered, the usual range of genres dealt with elsewhere is extended by chapters on books for children, and those in which childhood and memories of childhood are informed by antiquity; and also by a multi-genre case study of a highly unusual subject, Spartacus. With contributions by Lorna Hardwick, Stephen Harrison, Ruth Hazel and Leanne Hunnings.
