biography |
<p>My first degree was in Latin Studies at the University of Edinburgh. After
that I did a Masters in Professional Writing at London Metropolitan University. In
2008 I was awarded the first Michael Comber Studentship for Classical Reception
Studies, which was jointly provided by the Open University and St. Hilda’s College,
Oxford. I worked on the reception of the Roman poet Catullus in Romantic-era Britain,
which ultimately resulted in my first book <a href="https://global.oup.com/academic/product/a-cockney-catullus-9780198744887?cc=gb&lang=en&"

on 20th- and 21st-century Classical Reception, and taught Latin (beginner to A-level)
for Oxford University’s‘Latin Teaching Scheme’ at two state schools.
In 2013 I joined King's College London as the Research Associate on the AHRC-funded
project<a href="http://www.classicsandclass.info/" rel="nofollow">‘Classics

Revolution on British Culture through the lens of contemporary engagement with the
Greek and Roman classics. The first book to come out of this project will be<em>Cecil Day Lewis
and Virgil: The Making of a Laureate --</em> forthcoming with Bloomsbury.</p> |
