Presentations will be limited to 20 minutes.

This year’s colloquium will feature a keynote address by Richard F. Thomas, the George Martin Lane Professor of Classics at Harvard University. Dr. Thomas’ teaching and research interests are focused on Hellenistic Greek and Roman literature, intertextuality, translation and translation theory, the reception of classical literature in all periods, and the works of Bob Dylan. Recent books include Virgil and the Augustan Reception (Cambridge 2001), and two co-edited volumes, Classics and the Uses of Reception (Blackwell 2006) and Bob Dylan’s Performance Artistry (Oral Tradition 22.1 (2007)), and a commentary on Horace, Odes 4 and Carmen Saeculare (2011). He is currently working as co-editor on a three-volume Virgil Encyclopedia.
