Poetry as childishness: Ovid's Metamorphoses

As part of the Representing Childhood Bardwell Seminar Series, Dr. Llewelyn Morgan, University of Oxford Lecturer in Classics and Fellow of Brasenose College, will be giving the next talk in the Seminar Series.

Dr Morgan will be exploring the idea of poetry as childishness specifically referenced in Ovid's Metamorphoses. He has a special interest in Roman literature and has published on Virgil, Ovid, Horace, satire, historiography and metrical form. He also has interests in numismatics (the study of coins), the classical tradition, and the Greeks in India.

Dr Morgan teaches most literature courses offered in Classics and related subjects, in both Latin and Greek. We are very pleased to welcome him to our group of speakers at our Senior Seminar Series at St. Clare's.
