This workshop is concerned with the literature and poetry of classical Greece and Rome, considered either in their own terms or in relation to the literature and poetry of other cultures. It invites presentation of critical arguments completed or in progress, and from the broadest possible range of perspectives.
The workshop meets on alternate Thursdays at 3:30 p.m. in Classics 26, unless otherwise noted.
