TV antiquity explores representations of ancient Greece and Rome throughout television history. The book traces the historic development of fictional representations of antiquity from the staged black-and-white shows of the s and s to the most recent digital spectacles. One of its key insights is that the structure of serial television is at times better suited to exploring the complex mythic and historic plots of antiquity.
Featuring a range of case studies, from popular serials like I, Claudius and Rome —8 to lesser known works like The Caesars and The Eagle of the Ninth , the book illustrates how broader cultural, political and economic issues have over time influenced the representation of antiquity on television.

Charles Cripps Publisher: Lulu. Focusing on nineteenth- and twentieth-century Britain, it looks at a range of different genres epic, novel, lyric, tragedy, political pamphlet. Within the published texts considered, the usual range of genres dealt with elsewhere is extended by chapters on books for children, and those in which childhood and memories of childhood are informed by antiquity; and also by a multi-genre case study of a highly unusual subject, Spartacus.
The variety of genres and of media considered in the book is balanced both by the focus on Britain in a specific time period, and by an overlap of subject-matter between chapters: the three chapters on twentieth-century drama, for example, range from performance strategies to post-colonial contexts. The book thus combines the consolidation of a field with an attempt to push it in new and exciting directions.
