Its scope ensures that it will appeal to a wide range of audiences, while pushing us to think further not only about the reception of classics in contexts that have often been seen as ‘marginal’, ‘peripheral’, or in extremis, but also to see how these ‘edges’ have been altered and re-shaped by those engaging with Graeco-Roman antiquity. * Classics for All *\u003cbr\u003e[The contributors] have enlivened “marginal” voices upon whose winged-words were the Greeks and Romans. The range of these voices is proof that “Classics” has never truly been the exclusive realm of the elite male, despite attempts by the latter to make it so … \u003ci\u003eClassics in Extremis\u003c\/i\u003e is an excellent and timely addition to the contemporary scholarly zeitgeist. * Ancient World Magazine *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e1.
