About this product

Product Information

Although there are many works dealing with Pompeii and Herculaneum, none of them try to encompass the entire spectrum of material related to its reception in popular imagination. Pompeii's Ashes surveys a broad variety of such works, ranging from travelogues between ca. 1740 and 2010 to 250 years of fiction, including stage works, music, and films. The first two chapters provide an in-depth analysis of the excavation history and an overview of the reflections of travelers. The six remaining chapters discuss several clearly-defined genres: historical novels with pagan tendencies, and those with Christians and Jews as protagonists, contemporary adventures, time traveling, mock manuscripts, and works dedicated to Vesuvius. "Pompeii's Ashes" demonstrates how the eternal fascination with the oldest still-running archaeological projects in the world began, developed, and continue until now.

"Der Verfasser der vorliegenden Studie, der Archäologie-Professor Eric Moorman, hat es sich nun zur Aufgabe gemacht, in einem außerordentlich materialreichen Buch das gesamte Spektrum der literarischen, künstlerischen und dramatischen Rezeption der antiken Stadt aufzufächern. [...] der Verfasser [stellt] in Form eines Kompendiums so viele künstlerische Rezeptionen der durch den Ausbruch des Vesuvs begrabenen Städte dar, daß man als interessierter Leser den Band über die Jahre immer wieder zur Hand nehmen wird. [...] Eine materialreiche Studie, die sicher für manch einen Archäologen ebenso spannend und aufschlußreich ist wie für Literaturwissenschaftler aller Art sowie Liebhaber historischer Romane (und anderer Literatur), die speziell Pompeji auch und gerade im Medium der Fiktion kennenlernen wollen."
