This Friday marks the last in this series of Digital Classicist Work in
Progress seminars.
Willard McCarty (King's College London)
Modelling Personification in Ovid's Metamorphoses
All interested students and staff are cordially invited to this seminar
in the Digital Classicist series in Senate House (see
http://www.digitalclassicist.org/wip/)
Friday 11 August, 16:30
Room NG 16, Senate House, Malet St, London
(North wing, ground floor, down the ramp behind the coffee bar and
follow the passage)
In this talk I describe preliminary efforts to study personification figures
in Ovid. I use a relational database to develop a grammatical and
quasi-grammatical model of the literary trope and spreadsheet software to
display the results graphically. Several interesting questions have arisen.
Objections to matters of principle or practice will be gratefully received.
The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments.
All welcome.
