Amy Barbour: Biography As Scholarly Self-Fashioning, Talia Boylan Oct 2024

Amy Barbour: Biography As Scholarly Self-Fashioning, Talia Boylan

New England Classical Journal

Amy Barbour (PhD Yale, 1902) was one of the first women to receive a PhD in Classics in the United States. This essay describes how Barbour’s social context, gender, and national identity inflected her engagement with transatlantic intellectual trends. A biographical sketch culminating with Barbour’s career at Smith College as Professor of Ancient Greek is followed by a description of her academic achievements in the light of contemporary disciplinary anxiety and the use of biography as a scholarly tool. This two-pronged approach complements the valuable body of scholarship on North American women Classicists, which has focused more on those women’s …


Echoes Of The Past: The Vitellian Women In Tacitus’ Histories, Caitlin Gillespie Oct 2024

Echoes Of The Past: The Vitellian Women In Tacitus’ Histories, Caitlin Gillespie

New England Classical Journal

This article argues that Tacitus’ characterizations of female members of the Vitellii evoke literary representations of several prominent Roman women of the late Republic and Julio-Claudian era. Tacitus draws upon a range of figures for his Vitellian women, from Fulvia to Livia, Antonia the Younger to Octavia. Literary resonances contribute to Tacitus’ representation of Vitellius as a bad emperor who nevertheless cared about his family. In rejecting or reflecting literary models, Tacitus uses Vitellius’ mother Sextilia, wife Galeria, and sister-in-law Triaria to create echoes and distinctions between past and present civil conflicts.


Statues In Plutarch's Lives, Donald Lateiner Oct 2024

Statues In Plutarch's Lives, Donald Lateiner

New England Classical Journal

This article surveys where Plutarch mentions statues in the Lives and how they enrich his biographies. He alludes to statues in introductions, after death in conclusions, and in synkriseis. 1] They describe his subjects’ appearance. 2] They expressed community appreciation. 3] After some Hellenic and Roman honorands lost favor or were assassinated, their images suffered destruction. 4] Several communities compensated victims for ignominy by replacing their statues. 5] Several subjects erected statues as propaganda. 6] Several “heroes” address other men’s statues. 7] Statues or their absence counterpoint deaths and funerals. 8] Statues ironically embody excessive ambition. 9] Subsequent ancient …

Caesare Indignum? The Bellum Hispaniense As A Supplement To The Corpus Caesarianum, Randolf Lukas May 2024

Caesare Indignum? The Bellum Hispaniense As A Supplement To The Corpus Caesarianum, Randolf Lukas

New England Classical Journal

Until well into the 20th century, the Bellum Hispaniense was considered the amateur work of an uneducated soldier. Recently, attempts have been made to vindicate this text as a representative of republican historiography by pointing out its similarities to pre-classical Latin prose. Against this background, the aim of this paper is to emphasize the linguistic and thematic continuities between the Bellum Hispaniense and the other works of the Corpus Caesarianum and to demonstrate how the unknown author adopts Caesarian ideology and propaganda.

(Re)Active Latin: Computational Chat As Future Colloquia, Patrick J. Burns May 2024

(Re)Active Latin: Computational Chat As Future Colloquia, Patrick J. Burns

New England Classical Journal

What do chatbots have to do with the teaching of Latin? In taking up such a question, this article has two goals: 1. to situate computational chat, and ChatGPT specifically, as a technological next step in a tradition—from the colloquia scholastica to active Latin—of dialogue as a primary mode of teaching the language; and 2. to argue that large language models can bolster Latin pedagogy by providing ubiquitous, on-demand, contextually responsive interlocutors for language practice. I discuss conversation-based classroom activities drawn from recent Latin pedagogical literature and demonstrate how they can be adapted to chat. A conclusion argues for deeper …
