Literary Interactions under Nerva, Trajan and Hadrian (podcast)

Alice König outlines her British Academy/Leverhulme-funded research project on Literary Interactions under Nerva, Trajan and Hadrian . She sets out the various authors and issues that the project will examine, and some of the ways in which different contributors will get involved. She also gives a flavour of what the project is designed to achieve by sketching some literary interactions between the Roman author Frontinus and some of his contemporary writers. The research project will result in at least one edited volume and a series of Working Papers will also be published regularly on the project’s website. For more on Frontinus specifically, see A. König (2013), Frontinus’ Cameo Role in Tacitus’ Agricola, Classical Quarterly and A. König (forthcoming), Frontinus’ ‘Technical’ Treatises in Close-up and in Context.
