Call for papers

In recent years there has been a massive resurgence of interest in the Latin epic poets writing in the late first century AD. Lucan’s Civil War, Valerius Flaccus’ Argonautica, Statius’ Thebaid and Achilleid and Silius Italicus’ Punica were very little read in the early twentieth century. Find out more about the conference.

Please send brief abstracts (not more than 400 words) on any aspect of the reception of one or more of Lucan, Valerius Flaccus, Statius and Silius Italicus to helen.lovatt@nottingham.ac.uk by November 1 2009.
