Description

This scholarly work from Brill examines how Ancient Greece and Rome have been received and adapted in children's and young adult literature across genres including historical fiction, fantasy, mystery stories and mythological compendiums. The book investigates the ideological manipulations and varying depictions of the classical world that have changed over time in response to shifts in societies and cultures. With its subtitle Heroes and Eagles, the study focuses on the two predominant forms of classical reception in children's literature, particularly the portrayal of the Greek hero and related classical imagery. Essential reading for scholars, educators and students of children's literature studies seeking to understand how classical civilisation has shaped narratives for younger audiences.

Key Features

The Heroes and Eagles subtitle identifies the two most prevalent ways classical reception manifests in children's literature, centring on heroic portrayals and symbolic imagery.
