Dear All - with apologies for cross-posting,
Registration is now open for Byron the Latinist
On Tuesday 12 December 2017, the APGRD will host a one-day conference on Byron the Latinist to address an area still under-explored by comparison with scholarship on Byron as a Hellenist. Its programme
of speakers will address the broader context and examine Byron’s engagement with individual Latin authors and works.
In the Lecture Theatre, Ioannou Centre, 66 St Giles, Oxford, OX1 3LU
Registration is £15 (student concessions £10) - this includes a buffet lunch, refreshments, and a drinks reception.
