‘familiarity and recognition’ in Framing classical reception studies (eds. Maarten De PourcQ, Nathalie De Haan and David Rijser)

Abstract: Arguments over vocabulary characterise the secondary literature for the fledgling sub-discipline of Classical Reception Studies. These indicate deep divisions of approach. This chapter celebrates these divisions as pertinent and
indicative of the field’s wider potentials. It suggests that the struggle to consen-
sually frame CRS points to one of its most useful lessons: that for recognizably
repeated works (which anything described as classical or classic must be) what
a work is, and its persistence through time, are inseparably related.
