Translations and Transformations of Classical Texts

A Stanford Humanities Center Research Workshop, in which we aim to ask big questions about the translation of cultures, through a specific focus on Greek lyric poetry, including Sappho and the tragic chorus, and Latin epic poetry. The workshop brings together a wide range of scholars with expertise in classical, English and Italian literature, drama and opera, alongside published poets and translators. It will provide food for thought for anyone interested in translation studies and reception studies and will offer rich opportunities for inter-disciplinary synergy. This week: Yopie Prins (English & Comparative Literature, Michigan): "Sappho Sung: Musical Notes on Metrical Translation."
