Ebook: Werner Jaeger reconsidered: proceedings of the second Oldfather Conference, held on the campus of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, April 26-28, 1990

The present volume contains the published papers of a conference at the University of Illinois in April 1990 called, as Calder establishes in the introduction, to consider Jaeger’s career in the light of his present-day obscurity. The Oldfather Conference of which these are the proceedings of the second was established by Calder to examine aspects of the scholarship and reception of antiquity. The results of the first were provocative and lively and the second continues that tradition.
