Description: Classical Culture and Modern Masculinity by Daniel Orrells Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description For nineteenth-century thinkers in Germany and Britain, who looked to Greece as the acme of past civilization, the Greeks enjoyment of pederasty presented a problem. Daniel Orrellss study explores the way in which this awkward issue was negotiated. Publisher Description Since the middle of the eighteenth century, the classical world has been seen as foundational and exemplary to Western civilization. However, the Greeks never invaded and colonised western and northern Europe the way the Romans did, and, conversely, Greece was a difficult place to reach for modern travellers well into the nineteenth century. Inevitably, therefore, the links with ancient Greece were a product of the imagination: an exemplary civilization, in itspolitics, arts, and culture. There was one problem, however: the Greeks, it seemed, enjoyed pederastic relations. And not only this: one of Athens most famous teachers, Socrates, was attracted to boys.Daniel Orrells offers a fresh, original examination of how modern thinkers in Germany and Britain, who were so invested in a model of history that directly traced the European present back to an ancient Greek past, negotiated the tricky issue of ancient Greek pederasty. Author Biography Daniel Orrells is Associate Professor in Classics and Ancient History at the University of Warwick.
