Professors of Latin at the University of Liverpool 1884–1988: Philology, Hellenism and the Professionalisation of Latin at England’s Civic Universities in the Twentieth Century
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The story of Latin and its professors at the University of Liverpool (UK) is not only of intrinsic interest for its procession of prestigious figures and their scholarly achievements, but can also tell us much about the surprisingly slow emergence and gradual professionalization of Latin as a distinctive field of study in the UK, from the late Victorian wave of new university foundations to the late 20th century.
