Short description:

Classical Heritage and European Identities examines how the heritages of Classical Antiquity have been used to construct European identities, and especially the concept of citizenship, in Denmark from the eighteenth century to the present day.

Long description:

Classical Heritage and European Identities examines how the heritages of classical antiquity have been used to construct European identities, and especially the concept of citizenship, in Denmark from the eighteenth century to the present day. It implements a critical historiographical perspective in line with recent work on the "reception" of classical antiquity that has stressed the dialectic relationship between past, present and future.





Arguing that the continuous employment and appropriation of lassical heritages in the Danish context constitutes an interesting case of an imagined geography that is simultaneously based on both national and European identities, the book shows how Denmark?s imagined geography is naturalized through very distinctive uses of classical heritages within the educational and heritage sectors.
