Trends in Classics , a new series and journal to be edited by Franco Montanari and Antonios Rengakos, will publish innovative, interdisciplinary work which brings to the study of Greek and Latin texts the insights and methods of related disciplines such as narratology, intertextuality, reader-response criticism, and oral poetics. Both publications will seek to publish research across the full range of classical antiquity.
The series Trends in Classics Studies welcomes monographs, edited volumes, conference proceedings and collections of papers; it will provide an important forum for the ongoing debate about where Classics fits in modern cultural and historical studies.
The journal will be published twice a year with approx. 160 pp. per issue. Each year one issue will be devoted to a specific subject with articles edited by a guest editor.
This collection of essays, published in honour of Professor Georgia Xanthakis-Karamanos, addresses topics which lie at the forefront of current research on the fields of Greek drama and classical reception studies. It brings together internationally distinguished scholars who provide fresh insights into issues pertaining to the origins of Greek tragedy and comedy, their generic identity, the structure, the morality or the divine and human characters emerging from individual plays, the presence of Greek drama outside Athens in post-classical times, the associations between drama and genres such as epic and oratory or even the reception of Greek drama in operatic works such as Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde. Related art forms, such as music, receive particular attention. Focusing on either broader topics or specific texts, the essays of this volume provide a wide range of theoretical perspectives often combining modern critical trends such as reception studies, narratology or cultural studies with close and acute readings of individual passages. The volume is of particular interest to scholars and students of Greek drama and its reception as well as to anyone interested in Greek culture and its various manifestations.

"With useful bibliographies accompanying most of the essays, many schoolteachers, too, should find the volume valuable, especially perhaps for its studies of fifth-century drama, but also for its emphasis on the continuing vibrancy of Greek tragedy and comedy after Euripides and Aristophanes, whether in the theatre and law-courts of Athens, the studies and libraries of Alexandria and Rome or the monasteries of Britain and Ireland. For this is a rich cornucopia, providing (for the most) part thought-provoking and stimulating reading."

"There is no doubt that this volume, offering a variety of approaches both to the Greek theatre as a whole and to individual dramas, and containing so many thought-provoking studies, is a most useful and important contribution to the study of Greek drama."
Ioannis Polemis in: Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2018.06.35
"Es darf knapp festgehalten werden, dass den Herausgebern ein qualitativer Band gelungen ist, der die ganze (altphilologische) Breite der Beschäftigung mit dem antiken Theater und seinen Dramen widerspiegelt."
