I work on Latin Literature, with a particular interest in historiography and the poetry of the Augustan period. My most recent book, After the Past, Sallust on History and Writing History (Wiley, 2021), examined the possibilities of engagement and distance Sallust’s narrative strategies construct for his audience with respect to the events of the recent past and explored the different views of the agency of historiography that follow from these alternatives. My teaching interests cover the range of republican and early imperial Latin literature, from Plautus to Apuleius, including satire and elegy as well as epic and historiography.
