BU Classics Alumnus on the Impact of the Loeb Classical Library
The CAS Core Curriculum recently published a blog post about BU Classical Studies alumnus John Talbot. Talbot wrote a feature for The New Criterion titled “ The Bright Ghosts of Antiquity” about the impact of Loeb Classical Library translations on the study of Greek and Latin. He explores the baffling nature of these translations which include both the original text and the English translation.
