BA MSt DPhil Oxf

James Irvine Early Career Fellow in Classical Language and Literature

Academic subject(s):

Classics

Core subject area: Classics (Literae Humaniores) and Joint Schools with Classics.
Research interests: My research interests concern the relationship between the literary contents of different texts/genres and their linguistic expressions. I recently published my first monograph Chronology, Dialect and Style in Early Greek Hexameter Poetry (Oxford University Press, 2025). My current research centres around the language of Greek tragedy, applying cognitive and qualitative methods to understanding the linguistic choices made by the different poets.
