- Summary:
- This collection responds to the call within the discipline of classical receptions to foster dialogue across cultures and geographies to show the results of the colonially framed traditional approach to classical studies. It also responds to an important development in Hispanic and Lusophone studies: a turn to relational approaches such as transatlantic, transnational, and global analyses.
