This volume honours Michael Silk (1941–), a Hellenist of exceptional learning and critical acumen and a distinctive voice in literary studies, with a range of chapters addressing some of his many interests, reflecting his deep and growing influence over half a century, and marking out areas for ongoing debate and development.
The 17 chapters address important issues ranging from theory of literature to Greek literature, archaic to classical, the German dimension and classical reflexes beyond Greece and Germany, including the ‘Neo-Latin’ and ‘modern Greek’ cases, and a final section on 'Classicizing in a recalcitrant age'.
