The Ancient World in Nineteenth-Century Fiction; or, Correlating Theme, Geography, and Sentiment in the Nineteenth Century Literary Imagination

The Ancient World in 19th-Century Fiction is a lightly revised version of a lecture delivered at the first meeting of the Digital Classicists Association. The intent of the lecture, in accordance with the invitation to deliver it, was to introduce literary "macroanalysis" in the context of the ancient world and offer some exploration of how the ancient world is represented in the 19th-century literary imagination.
