Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-01920-1 - Thucydides and the Modern World: Reception, Reinterpretation and Influence from the Renaissance to the Present Edited by Katherine Harloe and Neville Morley Frontmatter More information THUCYDIDES AND THE MODERN WORLD The ancient Greek historian Thucydides has had an enormous impact on modern historiography, political theory, international relations and strategic studies, but this influence has never been properly studied. This book brings together leading scholars from a range of disciplines to explore the different facets of Thucydides’ modern reception and influence, from the birth of political theory in Renaissance Europe to the rise of scientific history in nineteenth-century Germany and the triumph of ‘realism’ in twentieth-century international relations the- ory. Its chapters consider the different national and disciplinary tra- ditions of reading and citing Thucydides, but also highlight common themes and questions – in particular, the variety of images of the his- torian produced by his modern readers: the scientific historian or the artful rhetorician, the brilliant analyst of society and politics or the great narrator of political and military events, the man of experience and affairs or the man of contemplation and reflection. katherine harloe is Lecturer in Classics at the University of Reading. Her research specialism is the reception of ancient Greek and Roman culture in modern (post-1700) political thought and intellectual history, and she has published articles on the history of classical scholarship, Nietzsche, and the relation of political thought to classical reception studies. She is currently completing a mono- graph, Winckelmann and the Invention of Antiquity, to be published by Oxford University Press. -

Launching the Women's Classical Committee
LAUNCHING THE WOMEN’S CLASSICAL COMMITTEE n April 2016 the Women’s Classical Committee (WCC) held its official launch at the Institute of Classical Studies, London. Inspired by the Women’s Classical Caucus (the I US equivalent), the WCC UK has similar aims in striving to support women in Classics, promote feminist and gender-informed perspectives in Classics, raise the profile of the study of women in antiquity and Classical reception, and advance equality and diversity in Classics. The launch event was a great success, hosting over seventy participants on the day, promoting lively discussion in a dynamic but inclusive environment, and showcasing some current research projects. THE LAUNCH From 9.30am people began arriving at Senate House with tales of travel and eager for tea, coffee, biscuits, and name labels. We were all keen too to get our teeth into the issues we read and talk about online or in exasperating and/or exasperatingly brief conversations with colleagues. We came from (at least) twenty different UK and EU institutions, and there were many more who have been working within Classics (broadly defined) from beyond the confines of the university. A range of career stages and genders were represented and heard. Liz Gloyn, our indefatigable Administrator, began the day with ‘Why are we here?’, noting the positive work of the WCC US and the impetus the 2015 Classics and Feminism Sandpit gave her to start a WCC here in the UK. Following Liz’s welcome, Irene Salvo presented a report on the questionnaire ‘Women in Classics in the UK: Numbers and Issues’, circulated in the UK Classics community prior to the launch event. -
