Alexander’s Successors and the Creation of Hellenistic Kingship

John Holton, Newcastle University, UK

Alexander’s Successors and the Creation of Hellenistic Kingship reconstructs how the development of royal ideologies led to five powerful new kingships after Alexander’s death. It reveals how ideological performances and ongoing competition among the post-Alexander elite created the reality of the long-lasting institution of Hellenistic kingship, which would last for generations and even centuries as the model for autocratic power in the ancient world.

Royal Traditions and the Consolidation of Power by Alexander’s Successors

John Holton, Newcastle University, UK

Examining the period of political consolidation after Alexander the Great’s death, John Holton reconstructs how the successors used new frameworks of royal ideology to create long-term kingships. There is a particular focus on the deeper manoeuvres within the inter-generational impact raging from the influence of religion and family relations, to succession-planning and royal funerals.

Aristophanes and the Current Moment

The Politics of Comedy

Edited by Constanze Güthenke, University of Oxford, UK & Samuel Gartland, University of Oxford, UK

Aristophanes’ comedies have long been read as a response to the political turbulence of fifth-century Athens, particularly during the Peloponnesian War. However, this volume frames him as a ‘political correspondent,’ whose works engage critically with both his time and ours. The contributions to this volume explore the ways in which Aristophanes’ comedy remains vital and disruptive in the present. The essays examine the tension between Aristophanes’ comic exaggerations and their real-world implications, revealing how his humour both reflects and unsettles our current political and social concerns.

Sublime Cosmos in GraecoRoman Literature and Its Reception

Intersections of Myth, Science and

History

Edited by David Christenson, University of Arizona, USA & Cynthia White, University of Arizona, USA

The essays collected in this volume examine manifestations of our sublime cosmos in ancient literature and its reception. Individual themes include religious mystery; calendrical and cyclical thinking as ordering principles of human experience; divine birth and the manifold nature of divinity (both awesome and terrifying); contemplation of the sky and meteorological (ir)regularity; fears associated with overpowering natural and anthropogenic events; and the aspirations and limitations of human expression. In texts ranging from Homer to Keats, the volume’s chapters apply diverse critical methods and approaches that engage with sublimity in various aesthetic, agential and metaphysical aspects.

Imperial Institutions in Ancient Rome and Early China A

Comparative Analysis

Michael Loewe, University of Cambridge, UK, Michael Nylan, University of California at Berkeley, USA & T. Corey Brennan, Rutgers University, USA

Written by the eminent sinologist Michael Loewe, and edited for publication by T. Corey Brennan and Michael Nylan, this book gives an overview of the considerations and practices of two major world empires that together ruled half of the earth's population in the first centuries BCE: ancient Rome and Han China. Approaching the historical material with a comparative perspective, Loewe examines the strengths and weaknesses, and the successes and failures, which can be seen in the organisation and government of these two political systems.

New Perspectives on the Roman Civil Wars of 49–30 BCE

Edited by Richard Westall, University of Dallas Rome Program, Italy & Hannah Cornwell, University of Birmingham, UK

Offering new and original approaches to the Roman civil wars of 49-30 BCE, this book explores eleven papers which shed light on this crucial moment in the forging of Roman identity. They engage with a variety of problems and topics in political discourse (diplomacy, the concept of libertas, divine paternity); socio-economic structures (allied rulers, military officials, civil war finances, Agrippa’s family); material culture (the coinage of Julius Caesar, the physical remains of Corfinium); and literary commemoration (Sallust on trauma, the lost Histories of Asinius Pollio).

Local and Imperial Culture in the Roman Provinces

Kristian Kanstrup Christensen, Stellenbosch University, South Africa

By adopting a theoretical approach rooted in the anthropological study of agrarian communities, this book investigates the reach and impact of Roman civilisation while considering the limitations of pre-industrial communication and social organisation. For half a millennium, the Roman state unified the Mediterranean world in an empire without parallel in European history. Yet, to what extent did this vast domain truly integrate the diverse cultures under its rule? This question forms the foundation for a novel cultural history that captures both sides of ancient imperialism: the connectivity fostered between local cultures and the hierarchical structures imposed upon them.

Ecologizing Late Ancient and Byzantine Worlds

Edited by Laura Borghetti, Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz, Germany & Thomas Arentzen, Lund University, Sweden

How can we study the late ancient and Byzantine history from ecological perspectives? How might one grapple with the more-than-human in sources and media created by humans? Exploring the diverse ways in which pre-modern texts engaged with the broader natural world, this book presents scholarly ventures into the terrains of the past. From the ancient treatises on dreams to monastic tales from the Hexameron literature to the Byzantine romance, from the Exeter Book to a mysterious Byzantine icon, the chapters investigate a diverse range of literature and other sources, uncovering intricate ecosystems of relationships.

Plautus: Epidicus

T. H. M. Gellar-Goad, Wake Forest University, USA

Plautus’ comedy Epidicus has the most convoluted, complicated and recursive plot in all known ancient Greek and Roman literature – despite being shorter than all but two other plays that survive in full from ancient drama. The play is filled with doubles and triples: two soldiers, three lyre-players, two love objects, two old men, two young men, three deception plots and three pairs of scenes where one person momentously recognizes – or momentously doesn’t recognize – someone else.

A Translation of Pindar’s Songs for Athletes

James Bradley Wells, DePauw University, USA

This new translation of Pindar’s songs for victorious athletes marries philological rigour with poetic sensibility in order to represent the beauty of his language for a modern audience as closely as possible. Pindar’s poetry is synonymous with difficulty for scholars and students of classical studies. His syntax stretches the limits of ancient Greek, while his allusions to mythology and other poetic texts assume an audience that knows more than we now possibly can, given the fragmentary nature of textual and material culture records for ancient Greece.

Looking at Hippolytus

Edited by David Stuttard, Independent Scholar, UK

Written at a time of great social upheaval, Hippolytus is one of the most studied plays in Greek drama. This volume examines how Euripides responded to contemporary ideas and events, and how his audience may have reacted to his play. As well as considering the play’s relationship with earlier lost tragedies and discussing many of its characters and central themes including its relationship with religion and evolving medical theories, this volume considers how Hippolytus may have been staged in fifth-century Athens and its reception from antiquity until today.

Artificial Intelligence in Greek and Roman Epic

Edited by Andriana Domouzi, National & Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece & Silvio Bär, University of Oslo, Norway

This is the first scholarly exploration of concepts and representations of Artificial Intelligence in ancient Greek and Roman epic, including their reception in later literature and culture. Contributors look at how Hesiod, Homer, Apollonius of Rhodes, Moschus, Ovid and Valerius Flaccus have elaborated on the first literary texts that deal with automata and the quest for artificial life, as well as technological intervention improving human life.

Psychiatry Antiquity and Its Legacy

Jessica Wright, University of Texas at San Antonio, USA

Is psychiatry a distinctively modern approach to mental difference and distress, or is it a continuation of ancient Greek ideas – in the realm not only of medicine (consider ‘melancholia’), but also of philosophy (source of the idea of ‘therapeutics of the soul’) and tragic drama (inspiration for, among other concepts, the ‘Oedipus complex’)? This volume examines how psychiatry, psychoanalysis and psychotherapy have been shaped by classical antiquity (and ideas about antiquity), and it explores the stories told about what this relationship between the psy disciplines and ancient Greece might mean.

Amazons in the Digital Era

The Reception of the Warrior Woman Image

Edited by Arturo Sánchez Sanz, University of Madrid, Spain

For more than 3,000 years, the Amazons have been a recognised symbol that transcends mythology and has influenced history itself. The image of the powerful warrior woman who defied the established patriarchal order proved so compelling that it became permanently enshrined in the collective imagination—first through oral tradition and later through texts and images. The contributions in this volume explore how this image has endured through the lens of classical reception. From Wonder Woman to the war in Ukraine, and across diverse genres such as video games, fashion, warfare and documentary film, the Amazonian archetype has evolved beyond anything once imagined.

Greek Tragedy and the Middle East

Chasing the Myth

Edited by Pauline Donizeau, Lumière University Lyon 2 , France, Yassaman Khajehi, Clermont Auvergne University, France & Daniela Potenza, Messina University, Italy

Employing the idea of interculturality to study Middle Eastern adaptations of Greek tragedy from the turn of 20th century until the present day, this book first explores the earlier phase of the development of Greek classical reception in Middle Eastern theatre. It then moves to focus on modern Arabic, Persian and Turkish adaptations of Greek tragedy both in the early post-colonial and contemporary periods in the MENA and in Europe. Case by case, this book examines how the classical sources are reworked and adapted, as well as how they engage with interculturality, hybridisation and the circulation of aesthetics and models.

Classicism and the Construction of Capital Cities

London, Athens and Rome in the Nineteenth Century

Richard Alston, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK

Exploring the intriguing interplay between tradition and modernity in the 19th-century capitals of London, Athens and Rome, Richard Alston delves into the political and architectural choices that shaped these cities as representations of self-consciously modern nations. Politicians and architects invested in classical styles in their efforts to break with traditions and assert new values. Classical style was employed to address questions of urbanism and nation, citizenship and belonging, and history and civilization.

Experiencing Immersion in Antiquity and Modernity

From Narrative to Virtual Reality

Edited by Emma Cole, University of Queensland, Australia

This book examines the links between experiencing immersion in antiquity and modernity. Immersive experiences are big business within today’s creative economy. Forms range from immersive museum exhibitions, theatrical performances, art installations and experiences facilitated through virtual and augmented reality technologies. Yet the idea of immersion is not new; paintings, sculpture and theatre have all been theorised historically in terms of illusion, realism and immersion.

De persecutione Anglicana by Robert Persons S.J.

A Critical Edition of the Latin Text with English Translation, Commentary and Introduction

Victor Houliston, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa & Marianne Dircksen, North West University, South Africa

Presenting the text of a notorious Jesuit attack on Queen Elizabeth I’s treatment of her Catholic subjects, this volume highlights the European context of the English Reformation and Robert Persons’s role as propagandist. In De persecutione Anglicana, Robert Persons (1546–1610) graphically describes the conditions in prisons, the harassment of Catholics at home and the gruesome manner of execution for treason. The work culminates in the arrest of the famous Jesuit martyr Edmund Campion, with rapidly revised versions bringing the narrative up to date after Campion’s execution.

Latin Political Propaganda in the War of the Spanish Succession and Its Aftermath, 1700-1740

Alejandro Coroleu, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain

Latin Political Propaganda offers the first comprehensive study of the central role played by the Latin language to celebrate or undermine political power during the War of the Spanish Succession (17011715). Waged as much on the printed page as on the battlefield, this worldwide conflict gave rise to an astonishing variety of Latin writing across the Continent - in verse or in prose - on both the pro-Habsburg and pro-Bourbon sides.

The Craft of Antler, Bone, Horn and Ivory Working in the Early Medieval Emporia c. AD 600850

Ian Riddler, Independent Material Culture Specialist, UK & Nicola Trzaska-Nartowski, Independent Material Culture Specialist, UK

Pasts Otherwise

The Archaeology of War at Sværholt

Bjørnar Olsen, UiT – The Arctic University of Norway & Christopher Witmore, Texas Tech University, USA

In this book, two leading theoretical archaeologists and the founding figures of what has been called “symmetrical archaeology” turn their attention to what kinds of pasts archaeology makes possible. The book is an attempt to unleash archaeology’s potential by opting for a past that resists historical time and the tropes of succession and replacement that the discipline has committed itself to for nearly two centuries.

Olsen and Witmore take up this task by boldly targeting one of the periods most thoroughly studied by historians, WWII. Building on over a decade of archaeological fieldwork and excavation at Sværholt, an erstwhile Wehrmacht artillery battery of the Atlantic Wall at the outermost terrestrial edge of continental Europe, they demonstrate precisely what difference archaeology can make to a period saturated by history.

The Tobacco Takers

Puritanism, Smoking, Health, and the Archaeology of Bodily Care

Diana DiPaolo Loren

The archaeological record documents the popularity of smoking throughout seventeenthcentury North America. White kaolin pipes are ubiquitous in sites from the Atlantic east from Dutch New Amsterdam to Port Royal, Jamaica to Puritan Harvard College. While historical archaeologists have long talked about smoking in the Atlantic world, a discussion of the motivation behind early colonial smoking is rarely discussed. The assumption has been that smoking during this period was a leisure activity tied to drinking, but in the seventeenth-century Puritan world, smoking tobacco often had religious and medicinal connotations.

The Application of GIS Technologies in the Roman Period

Spatial Analysis, Historic Modelling and Reconstructions

Pedro Trapero Fernández, University of Cadiz, Spain

Using a selection of archaeological cases studies from the Roman period in the Mediterranean region, Pedro Trapero Fernández shows how GIS technologies can be employed in the creation of spatial models to reproduce historical realities. Each chapter focuses on a particular spatial model, such as mobility and visibility models, and discusses their limitations and potential for implementation in archaeological contexts. The result is a detailed analysis of each method, which consequently results in an accessible manual for understanding GIS technologies.

BLOOMSBURY OPEN COLLECTIONS?

A new open access model for books

BLOOMSBURY OPEN COLLECTIONS is a collective-action approach to funding open access (OA) books. Through this model, we aim to make OA publication available to a wider range of authors by spreading the cost across multiple organisations, while providing additional benefits to participating libraries. By prioritising authors that are often underrepresented in scholarly publishing, including early-career and unaffiliated researchers and those based in/writing about low- and lower-middle- income countries, we hope to engage a more diverse author base, bringing their work to a wider global audience.

THE BOOKS

Following the success of our 2024-25 expansion, in 2025-26 we will continue to offer three collections of 20 titles each in:

• African Studies & International Development

• Environment & Climate Change

• Gender & Sexuality

BENEFITS TO LIBRARIES

• Contribute to a progressive OA funding model that aims to make 60 research titles available open access immediately on publication at no cost to the authors

• Receive guaranteed perpetual access to the 20 titles in each Open Collection you participate in

• Receive 1 year’s access to ~150 backlist titles in related areas for each Open Collection you participate in

• Be publicly acknowledged on our website
