Andrew Morrison

Biography

I came to Manchester in 2001. Before that I was a graduate student at University College London, and before that an undergraduate at The Queen''s College, Oxford.
 

I am the author of The Narrator in Archaic Greek and Hellenistic Poetry (Cambridge, 2007) and Performances and Audiences in Pindar''s Sicilian Victory Odes (London, 2007), and co-editor of Ancient Letters (Oxford, 2007). I am in the process of finalising revisions to a monograph examining Apollonius Rhodius’ use of historiography (especially Herodotus). A volume on Lucretius which I co-edited with Daryn Lehoux and Alison Sharrock was published in 2013. My current major project is a commentary on selected poems of Callimachus (for the Cambridge ''Green and Yellow'' series), while I have also recently published a number of articles on Greek (mainly pseudonymous) letter-collections.

Since January 2013 I have been Editor of ClassicalQuarterly (together with Bruce Gibson of the University of Liverpool and Costas Panayotakis of the University of Glasgow).

From December 2016 I have been co-directing (with Roy Gibson) a four-year AHRC-funded project on ancient letter collections.
