The event is open to all, and will consist of a talk by Nick Lowe (Royal Holloway), followed by a drinks reception.

The volume itself fuses three concepts in ancient literature that have never been applied together at the same time: ideas of time, grammatical tense, and literary genre.

They will bring to life new information about Symonds’s life and work, but will also use the Symonds collection as a vehicle for discussing some of the current issues archivists have to balance when working on collections.

Teaching a new course this semester focused on Ovid’s Metamorphoses and our first assignment is pondering this marvelous talk by @stephaniemccarter.bsky.social on (the politics of) translating Ovid and how a feminist lens resists contemporary gender and sexual stereotypes.
