This seminar investigates the reception, elaboration, and revaluation of ancient and classical traditions from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance to modernity and postmodernity. To this end, it welcomes a variety of theoretical approaches and innovations, including philological research, hermeneutics and poetics, and cultural criticism. 

Chairs: John Hamilton (jhamilt@fas.harvard.edu), Adrian Staehli (staehli@fas.harvard.edu) and Richard Thomas (rthomas@fas.harvard.edu)
