Covering the full range of\u003cbr\u003eEnglish literature from the early Middle Ages to the present day, \u003cem\u003eOHCREL\u003c\/em\u003e both synthesizes existing scholarship and presents cutting-edge new research, employing an international team of expert contributors for each of the five volumes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eOHCREL\u003c\/em\u003e endeavours to interrogate, rather than inertly reiterate, conventional assumptions about literary 'periods', the processes of canon-formation, and the relations between literary and non-literary discourse. It conceives of 'reception' as a complex process of dialogic exchange and, rather than\u003cbr\u003eoffering large cultural generalizations, it engages in close critical analysis of literary texts. It explores in detail the ways in which English writers' engagement with classical literature casts as much light on the classical originals as it does on the English writers' own cultural context. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis fifth and final volume in the series, and the last to appear, covers the years from 1880 onwards. Written by leading scholars in such diverse fields as classics, English literature, history, and comparative literature, the chapters provide insights into the role of classical literature in\u003cbr\u003eeducation, translation, and notions of empire, as well as engaging with the works of major writers, including Thomas Hardy, W. B. Yeats, T. S. Eliot, Virginia Woolf, Ezra Pound, W. H. Auden, and Seamus Heaney. Besides being an indispensable reference tool, the volume as a whole presents an absorbing\u003cbr\u003ehistory of a complex period which saw the end of the traditional role played by classics in literary education as well as the end of traditional processes of literary canon formation, offering a new map of the terrain and a glimpse at the shape which the reception of antiquity may come to take in\u003cbr\u003ethe twenty-first century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kenneth Haynes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 736\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 6.60w x 1.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199585106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKenneth Haynes, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of Comparative Literature and Classics, Brown University\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKenneth Haynes is Professor of Comparative Literature and Classics at Brown University.
