Brill’s Companion to Classical Reception and Modern World Poetry explores the relations between antiquity and modernity from the angle of the reception of Graeco-Roman antiquity in modern world poetry. In an innovative combination of the fields of Classical Reception and World Literature, it tackles ever-challenging questions which are central to both fields, such as the questions of literature and identity, specificity and universality, Eurocentrism, poetics and translation. Leading experts from both Classics and Modern Languages contribute 11 chapters on modern poetry and poets from different linguistic and cultural traditions from around the world.

"The volume is well-edited and well-presented throughout, with all quotations provided in their original language and script, as well as in English translation, creating “a visual disruption of the dominant English text” (p. 2). The individual essays will be useful additions to many reception studies reading lists, and of interest to a broad range of scholars and students of classical reception and comparative literature."
