\n

One generation\u2019s classics look quite different from another\u2019s. So how do you define them?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

To celebrate the launch of Carcanet\u2019s new Carcanet Classics\u00a0series, we explore how you go about curating a list of classics and what value such collections hold for readers, writers, students or even collectors.
\n<\/em>
\nThe Carcanet Classics range from books from two millennia BC to those of our own century, from Sumeria to Paterson, New Jersey, from ancient Greece to Anglo-Saxondom. The range includes new takes on ancient texts (two Gilgameshes for example), new readings of the Latin classics and young poets advocating the work of their mentors.<\/em><\/p>\n

Readers at this event include:<\/em>
\n– Carcanet’s Founder and Editorial Director, Michael Schmidt<\/em>
\n– John Clegg (Selected Poems by John Heath-Stubbs, Sept 2018)<\/em>
\n– Jane Draycott (Pearl (trans.), Sept 2018)\u00a0<\/em>
\n– Philip Terry (Dictator (a Gilgamesh translation), Oct 2018)\u00a0<\/em>
\n– Robyn Marsack (Selected Poems by Edmund Blunden, Dec 2018)<\/em>at the Knowledge Centre, The British Library, 96 Euston Road, London NW1 2DB<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
