Academic Background

A Lector and British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow at the Faculty of Classics, I am currently working on the Appendix Vergiliana and on medieval Latin texts, including Peter Abelard's Hymns. After reading for an MA in Classics at St Andrews, I came up to Oxford for graduate study, writing a doctorate on the elegies of Propertius. I teach Greek and Latin language for the Faculty of Classics, as well as Latin literature options for several colleges.

Research Interests

I am currently working on a literary commentary on [Vergil]'s Catalepton and Priapea that concerns itself with the construction of reader and author in relation to the collection alongside the more philological aspects of the poems. This project has been complemented by a volume I have co-edited with Laurel Fulkerson on the ideas of authorship and readership in the Appendices Vergiliana, Tibulliana, and Ouidiana. I have also edited an interdisciplinary volume on the thirteenth-century Codex Buranus with Henry Hope. My doctoral thesis explores the ways in which the Latin elegist Propertius engages with and recasts his own poetic material, as well as that of his peers and predecessors. More broadly, I am interested in the literature of the first century BC (esp. the poets and Vitruvius); the Latin literature of the Middle Ages; the place of the author and the reader in relation to the text; and in textual criticism, palaeography, and the history of the book (see: www.teachingthecodex.com).

Research Keywords

[Vergil]'s Catalepton, Propertius, Ovid, Medieval Latin, Textual Criticism, Palaeography, the History of the Book.
