{"product_id":"classics-love-revolution-andrea-capra-9780198865445","title":"Classics, Love, Revolution: The Legacies of Luigi Settembrini","description":"Capra and Graziosi intervene in current debates about classics and its relation to revolutionary ruptures, nationalist movements, and identity politics today. They begin with \u003cem\u003eThe Neoplatonists\u003c\/em\u003e, an explicit love story posing as the work of an imaginary ancient Greek author, but actually written by the Neapolitan revolutionary and classical scholar Luigi Settembrini (1813-1876). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOffering the first English translation of the tale—which, because of its celebration of homosexuality, long remained censored and unpublished—they read it in the context of Settembrini's life, scholarship, and revolutionary politics. Drawing strength from his legacies, Capra and Graziosi go on to tackle the nostalgias of post-truth politics today, demonstrating the queer, reparative potential of various strands of classical scholarship. On the basis of archival research, combined with literary and philosophical analysis, they argue that a commitment to social justice and an investment in the study of Greco-Roman antiquity can—and even should—be rooted in egalitarian, embodied, and joyous forms of love. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eClassics, Love, Revolution: The Legacies of Luigi Settembrini\u003c\/em\u003e offers a reassessment of Italian homosexuality, insurgence, and scholarship, while telling a moving story of love and resilience along the way. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003ePostclassical Interventions\u003c\/em\u003e aims to reorient the meaning of antiquity across and beyond the humanities. Building on the success of \u003cem\u003eClassical Presences\u003c\/em\u003e, this complementary series features shorter-length monographs designed to provoke debate about the current and future potential of Classical Reception through fresh, bold, and critical thinking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrea Capra, Barbara Graziosi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198865449\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198865445\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.60w x 1.00d","brand":"Andrea Capra","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46217318367487,"sku":"9780198865445","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c1410e48-350b-4b57-9c78-227e3d59899e.jpg?v=1728514908","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/classics-love-revolution-andrea-capra-9780198865445","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
