    The Ancients, the Moderns, and their Aftermath

    I am proposing a panel on the Battle of the Ancients and the Moderns for the
    NEASECS conference on October 2002. Papers may address any aspect of the
    Battle during the 17th and 18th centuries, including:

    - the polemical writings of Boileau, Perrault, Chapelain, Mme Dacier,
    Houdard de La Motte, Alexander Pope, and other critics
    - translations of Homer
    - the presence of epic heroes in 17th and 18th-century literature,
    particularly criticism and parody of Achilles, Hercules, etc.
    - perceptions of the corruption of taste in modern times
    - parodies and "travestissements" of classical works

    Please send 200-word abstracts to Jennifer Tsien, either as Word attachments
