Classical Inter/Faces: Victorian Horace

 

"The poetry of Horace was central to Victorian male elite education and the ancient poet himself, suitably refashioned, became a model for the English gentleman. Horace and the Victorians examines the English reception of Horace in Victorian culture, a period which saw the foundations of the discipline of modern classical scholarship in England and of many associated and lasting social values.

The Homeric Doloneia

The Doloneia is the most controversial book of the Iliad, its authenticity being doubted since antiquity. But by applying sophisticated interpretive tools, this book maintains that Iliad 10 was not composed by a single poet, that it is thematically consonant with the rest of the Iliad, and that it has evolved from an earlier Iliadic version.

Poetry of the Second World War

This new anthology brings together a generous selection of famous wartime poets alongside works by civilians and soldiers, offering a symphony of different voices, all connected in their shared experience of the Second World War.
