Description and Table of Contents
Description
This interdisciplinary
collection of essays considers the identity of the Muses in Antiquity and
through centuries of their afterlife, tracing their religious, educational and
philosophical meaning in classical Greece and their subsequent transformation
and re-interpretation in a range of post-classical contexts. Individual
contributors consider the invocation of the Muses in different places and at
different times by those in search of inspiration, immortality and fame. The
volume addresses the concept of the Muses from the perspective of philology,
philosophy, art history, antiquarianism and musicology, from Antiquity to the
Middle Ages and Early Modern period. It concludes with a discussion of the
place of the Muses in Aby Warburg's cultural theory. Published with the
support of the Gerda Henkel Foundation, Dusseldorf.
