Summary

"The present book was born of an international research project on 'Classics and Communism' which aimed to discover and explore the history of classical philology after World War II in what was then considered the camp of Socialist countries....The work involved a number of 'case studies', such as personal histories of prominent philologists in the region, as well as national surveys. Classical studies were explored in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, East Germany, and the Soviet Union, particularly in Russia, Lithuania, and Ukraine; the situation in Yugoslavia was examined on the example of Serbia and Slovenia."--Introduction, p. x-xi.
