One reason for her success is the versatile scope of her classically-oriented oeuvre, which she rethinks across multiple media and categories. Yet an equally significant reason is her profile as a classicist. In this role, Carson unfailingly refuses to conform to the established conventions and situated practices of her discipline, in favour of a mode of reading classical literature that allows for interpretative and creative freedom. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom a multi-praxis, cross-disciplinary perspective, the volume explores the erudite \u003ci\u003ein\u003c\/i\u003ediscipline of Carson's classicism as it emerges in her poetry, translations, essays, and visual artistry.
