This week we
would like to forward to you the most recent information on the project called
“Epic Poetry Network”, which promises to facilitate research as well as
international collaboration in the field of Graeco-Roman epic poetry. Since the
benefits that accrue from such a network heavily rely on the contributions made
by its members, we invite anyone working in the area of epic poetry to have a
close look at its manifold functions and its considerable potential. Please read
the full description below:
“The Epic
Poetry Network (EPN) is an international network of research and teaching of
Graeco-Roman epic poetry. It was founded in 2016 by Simone Finkmann and
Christiane Reitz to bring together scholars working on epic poetry from Homer
to Neo-Latin epic, to facilitate the exchange of information and collaborations
between experts in this field and to encourage diachronic intertextual
research.
The EPN
hosts a subscribers list (mailinglist@epic-poetry-network.com) that allows members to circulate
important information relating to Graeco-Roman epic poetry (from early Greek
epic to Neo-Latin epic) such as calls for papers, new research projects, book
and journal publications, research collaborations, as well as upcoming
conferences, seminars, and workshops on epic poetry.
The website
provides an overview of the latest developments in the different areas of
teaching and research on Graeco-Roman epic (www.epic-poetry-network.com/news-and-announcements) and a list of recent publications (www.epic-poetry-network.com/recent-publications) as well as of current and upcoming
projects (www.epic-poetry-network.com/research-projects).
Members can
introduce their new projects (projects@epic-poetry-network.com) and keep the EPN list members and
the public informed about their latest work (publications@epic-poetry-network.com).
