Ancient literature theorist Louise A. Hitchcock traces contemporary theorists who focus on ancient literature in this book; It examines the theories of thirty different thinkers who left their mark on the 20th century, from Marx to Nietzsche, from Foucault to Benjamin. It identifies its basic concepts, presents a general framework, and interprets the ways these theorists used ancient literature in their thoughts.
