Item description from seller

pp. 45-75. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With author's dedication to W. Haase. - A very good and clean copy. - From the text: "What is Nachleben? A kind of German sausage? So wrote, derisively, a former colleague from a different discipline, in response to a piece of work in which the word appeared. He had a point. Not everyone shares the classicists love of pretentious terms of art. But the use of the word raises more issues than those of taste and professional mystique. What kind of Afterlife do its users have in mind? not, one may suspect, a transcendent Platonic one, of a higher order of reality than life on earth: rather a ghostly, Homeric afterlife of insubstantial, gibbering shadows. The real life of a text, most classicists assume, is the one it had in its original context; its subsequent reception is merely an entertaining hobby, or useful material for a lightweight final chapter in a more weighty study.
