Afterlife of Antiquity: Anton Springer (1825-1891) on the Classical Tradition by

Description: Afterlife of Antiquity by H. Lamers Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This essay deals with the early history of the notion of an afterlifeof antiquity as a metaphor for thinking about antiquitys continuedpresence in later periods. Nachleben der Antike is oftenassociated with Aby Warburg and Renaissance art but was first applied tothe classical tradition of the Middle Ages by the Czech-German historianAnton Heinrich Springer (1825–1891). His provocative essay on thesubject, first published in 1862, is a very early attempt to emancipatethe classical tradition from strait-laced classicism and to see it as ahistorical problem. Springers approach anticipated some important latertrends in understanding antiquitys continued presence and significance.Afterlife of Antiquity returns something of the originalresonance to Springers idea and sheds light on its significance in thehistory of scholarship. Recognizing some of the theoretical tensionsinherent in Springers discussion, the current work examines how thenotion of an afterlife of antiquity was embedded in the authors widerinterest in artistic tradition and how he used it as a polemical concepttargeting both anti-classicizing Romanticist and traditional humanistviews of medieval culture. This issue of Studies in Iconologyalso includes the first English translation of Springers DasNachleben der Antike im Mittelalter, a largely forgotten classic ofhumanities scholarship, read and admired by Aby Warburg and ErwinPanofsky.
