To start the Fall 2023 semester, Contexts for Classics invites new and returning faculty and students to a presentation of work in progress, followed by discussion and a welcome reception.
Laura Jansen will reflect on her work as General Editor for the Bloomsbury monograph series, Classical Receptions in Twentieth-Century Writing. What new authors, topics, and directions does the series currently pursue, and why? And how might the series continue to redefine the practice and scope of classical reception studies?
Professor Jansen is Associate Professor in Classics and Comparative Literature at the University of Bristol. She is the author of Borges’ Classics: Global Encounters with the Graeco-Roman World (2018), and editor of The Roman Paratext (2014), Anne Carson/Antiquity (2021), and Anne Carson’s Euripides (2023).
