This collection offers studies in Greek literature in memory of Colin Austin, Professor of Greek at Cambridge and renowned editor of Greek poetic texts.

This monograph is devoted to the groundbreaking female classicist Wilmer Cave Wright. Tracing her career from Cambridge through Chicago and Byrn Mawr College, and her work on classical Greek and mediaeval Latin texts, it stands as a significant new study of the historical place of women in classical scholarship.

This book studies a wide array of anonymous ancient poetry both Greek and Latin, from Homeric hymns to Virgilian pseudepigrapha, from inscribed poetry to literary fragments. Each chapter develops a novel approach to the text it explores, and together they present a uniquely multifaceted analysis of anonymity in classical poetry.

With over seventy works to his name, Marcus Terentius Varro (116-24 B.C.) was arguably the greatest scholar of the Roman world. This volume of essays addresses his often neglected output, shedding new light on the intellectual activity of the late Roman republic.
