Cultural Poetics in Archaic Greece: Cult, Performance, Politics by Carol Dougherty (Associate Professor of Greek and Latin, Associate Professor of Greek and Latin, Wellesley College)
This is a paperback reprint of a hardback originally published by Cambridge University Press in 1993, and derived from a seminal conference held at Wellesley in 1990. Among the scholarly community, the book is generally regarded as the first critical milestone in the cultural poetics movement, which lies at the intersection of New Historicism and classical studies.
