Recitations

The original recitals site (featuring this 1990s logo) was created for (and by) the Classics teaching staff at Harvard to help students grasp the vital performative aspect of ancient literature. Selections were chosen because of their inclusion in various Harvard introductory-level language courses, as an aid to pronunciation and meter.

The initial project developer, Thomas Jenkins (PhD in Classical Philology, Harvard University 1999; now associate professor and Chair of Classical Studies at Trinity University [TX]), would like to "thank all the professorial 'guinea pigs' below for their cheerful willingness to be poked and prodded with all manner of recording equipment."
