This volume examines Anne Carson's profound and influential engagement with antiquity, tracing its impact from her early works like "Eros the Bittersweet" to more recent publications. It highlights the versatile scope of her classical scholarship, which spans multiple media and categories. Carson's distinctive approach as a classicist challenges established conventions, prioritizing interpretive and creative freedom in her readings of classical literature. The collection explores her "erudite indiscipline" across poetry, translations, essays, and visual art, arguing that her classicism is integral to her dynamic artistic vision.
