Description

A People's History of Classics provides a new perspective on how the classical past influenced the lives of working-class people in Britain and Ireland. Spanning from the late 17th century to the early 20th century, this Routledge publication examines the relationship between class and Greco-Roman antiquity. While previous histories of classical scholarship and pedagogy have often excluded the voices of the working class, this volume seeks to change that narrative. It challenges the common assumption that the study of ancient Greek and Roman languages and culture was reserved solely for British elites. By investigating the presence of the classical world outside of exclusive intellectual circles, the book refutes the idea that working-class culture was a Classics-Free Zone. This work is an essential resource for those studying the social history of the ancient world and its reception. It offers a deep look into how historical scholarship can be expanded to include diverse social groups, providing a more complete picture of how classical antiquity shaped society across different social strata.
