Dr Henry Tang
I studied Classics at King’s College London (BA, 2013), Worcester College, Oxford (MSt, 2014), and St Edmund’s College, Cambridge (PhD, 2019). My research areas are in early Latin imperial prose and poetry, with focuses on the epic tradition and the Flavian period. I am most interested in how poetry interacts with ancient politics, culture, and identity. I have also explored the history of Greek and Latin studies in China (which goes back to at least the 16th Century!).
I have taught all undergraduate Latin Literature options at the Mods and Greats level. I also teach Greek and Latin language as part of the local language teaching at the college.
Domitian, Literary Restriction, and the Poetics of Catasterism and Divinity in Statius’ Siluae 1.1 and 1.2 (Illinois Classical Studies, 2019).
Pelops and Myrtilos: reassessing the ekphrasis in Statius’ Thebaid 6.283-285 (The Classical Quarterly, 2022).
