Note publique d'information : Brill's Companion to Classics in the Early Americas illuminates the remarkable range
of Greco-Roman classical receptions across the western hemisphere from the late fifteenth
to the early nineteenth century. Bringing together fifteen essays by scholars working
at the intersection of Classics and all aspects of Americanist studies, this unique
collection examines how Hispanophone, Lusophone, Anglophone, Francophone, and/or Indigenous
individuals engaged with Greco-Roman literary cultures and materials. By coming at
the matter from a multilingual transhemispheric perspective, it disrupts prevailing
accounts of classical reception in the Americas which have typically privileged North
over South, Anglophone over non-Anglophone, and the cultural production of hegemonic
groups over that of more marginalized others. Instead it offers a fresh account of
how Greco-Roman literatures and ideas were in play from Canada to the Southern Cone
to the Caribbean, treating classical reception in the early Americas as a dynamic,
polyvocal phenomenon which is truly transhemispheric in reach.
