BOOK
Foreword: Fantastika and the Greek and Roman Worlds
[...]this approach of privileging certain receptions over others seems to bean attempt to reaffirm the canon of literature, at a time when others see Reception Studies as a means of democratizing the subject (cf. [...]it has the potential to demean the academic areas in whose fields of study the receiving texts lie. [...]to privilege the illumination of Antiquity detracts from the question of how later societies, including our own, engage with the Classical past.

Ho-ho, indeed Nick Lowe adds his trademark humor to Christmas album
[Nick Lowe] also coaxed some new Christmas songs out of smart friends. Ron Sexsmith penned a jazz piece, \"Hooves on the Roof,\" while [Ry Cooder] wrote the lyrics for the crying-by-the-mistletoe song \"A Dollar Short of Happy.\" \"When I told him I was up to my neck in a Christmas album, he reacted with a sniff of contempt,\" Lowe says. \"Then, he sent me some words and I thought they were great.\" The album contains just one seasonal cliche: \"Silent Night.\" \"There's a reason it's the most covered song at this time of year,\" Lowe says. \"It's a great tune.\" Even so, he retooled the classic as a rockabilly rave-up. Lowe's transformation into the new St. Nick dovetails with the bold move he made in 2000 to deepen his perspective and slow the pace of his songs. He says the transition wasn't nearly as hard for him as it was for his audience. \"They stayed away in droves,\" he says. Lowe still performs some old songs in concert. \"My rule is that you have to pull them off on an acoustic guitar,\" he says. Lowe wants to maintain a similar balance with his Christmas concert.
