Theodor Mommsen and the Liberal Opposition to British Imperialism at the time of the Second South African War of Independence (1899-1902)
The German ancient historian, Theodor Mommsen, was widely admired in 19th-century British society. It came as shock then when Mommsen trenchantly condemned the British declaration of war against the Boer Republics in 1899. The force of this critique was underscored when the Swedish Nobel Prize committee awarded Mommsen the award for literature in 1902 much to the surprise of many, including Mommsen himself. Mommsen's high-profile attack on the wa…
The Herschel Obelisk, Classics, and Egyptomania at the Cape
Immediately prior to his departure from Cape Town to England in 1838, Sir John Herschel sold the estate, ‘Feldhausen’,1 on which he had erected his telescope and had conducted his astronomical observations, to Mr. R.

Apuleius
"These rhetorical texts by Apuleius, second-century Latin writer and author of the famous novel Metamorphoses or Golden Ass, have not been translated in English since 1909. They are some of the very few Latin speeches surviving from their period, and constitute important evidence for Latin and Roman North African social and intellectual culture in the second century A.D. They are the work of a talented writer who is being increasingly viewed as t…
