Scientific conferences. Valencia, 30 November and 1 December 2009
The Research Group on the Reception of Classical Literature (GIRLC) is organising an interdisciplinary meeting to discuss the treatment of characters with both divine and human characteristics. These characters are defined as heroes in Classical literatures and cultures, and as saints in the Western literary and cultural tradition. The meeting addresses the same issues as the 2008 edition, ‘Ancient literatures in medieval literatures’. These include the methodological discussion on the reception of Greek and Latin literature in national literatures, as well as the attention given to authors, works and specific texts of special relevance. The main goals are to showcase the Group’s research on the reception of Latin and Greek literature in medieval Valencian literature, and to promote an inclusive research process that integrates the expertise and contributions of experts from diverse fields.
