Who Makes the Pesto? Labour, Social Status and Authorship in the Moretvm
This article offers a fresh examination of the different kinds of labour and labourers in the pseudo-Virgilian Moretum , and argues that the poem lends expression to the difficulty of distinguishing between exploitation and collaboration in any form of production, but particularly in literary production. At its core, this article considers the ways in which the Moretum repeatedly denies readerly attempts to pin down the exact status of, and relat…
Politics and Divinization in Augustan Poetry
This book offers a new interpretation of one of most prominent themes in Latin poetry, the divinization of Augustus, and argues that this theme functioned as a language of political science for the early Augustan poets as they tried to come to terms with Rome’s transformation from Republic to Principate. Examining an extensive body of texts ranging from Virgil’s Eclogues to Horace’s final book of the Odes (covering a period roughly from 43 bc to …
(Un)Seeing Augustus
This article argues that Virgil's First Eclogue naturalises the power discourse of the future Augustan Principate.

The poem thus produc…

Recent studies of Ovid's Fasti have noted that the poem's propensity to contest the meaning of a particular occasion facilitates a sustained examination of the relationship between the past and present of Rome, through which the poet…

The Georgics is shown to be a rich field of inherited and varied literary forms, actively inviting a wide range of interpretations as well as deep reflection on its place within the tradition of didactic poetry
