Description:	Modernity’s Classics deals with tensions in modern thought between travelling into the future and keeping the best from the past; with the frictions between politicalsocial realities and the sociocultural imaginaire; with the global circulation of ambitious dreams and the local realities of practice. Opening up an international debate about the role of ‘classics’ and ‘cultural heritage’ in modern constructions of knowledge and of education, this volume has grown out of an extended conversation among scholars from many different fields over 3 years and three conferences. Their varied national and disciplinary backgrounds have shaped their questions and concerns. The reconfiguration of ‘classics’ in the modern period was a global phenomenon, with the restructuring of disciplines in modern educational systems exerting a major influence. However, there has as yet been no sustained effort to study this interlinked process across the whole range of civilizations and disciplines. A single volume could not possibly provide a comprehensive analysis; what we aim to do, instead, is to present a collection of provocative case-studies that raises new questions and suggests directions for further research.
