- The volume was conceived by Hughes, after attending the 2009 Exoticizing Vesuvius conference in York run by the Neapolitan Network. The concept was then developed by Hughes and co-editor Buongiovanni. After a first networking meeting between the editors in Naples, contributors were chosen and invited from Italian, UK and US universities). One aim of the project was to highlight the work of Italian scholars whose work had not yet been made available in English these were 12 of the 16 contributors only one of whom worked outside of Italy. Further intellectual development took place at a meeting of the Naples-based contributors at the Federico II University in Naples, where Hughes also gave a graduate seminar (in Italian) on the theories and methodologies of classical reception studies.
The introduction was co-authored by the co-editors, and Hughes also contributed a standalone chapter (Ch. 14). Due in part to the language requirements, the vast majority of the editing was done by Hughes, who also compiled the bibliography. One chapter and the two Afterwords were translated from the Italian by Hughes (Chapters 7, 15 and 16), and several other chapters required substantial attention from Hughes, both because of the English, and the OUP series’ requirement for theoretical engagement with classical reception studies.
