...from British literary culture to the history of travel and archaeology in Greece. On which more anon over the next few months!

[Seb Marshall @SebAMarshall]

This week I had the fortune to begin a new role as the School of Advanced Study's inaugural William St Clair Fellow. Over the next five months I'll be spending more time in London researching the history of Mediterranean garrison libraries. Do get in touch if this is of interest!

[Seb Marshall @SebAMarshall]

The Fellowship presents a welcome, uncommon opportunity for ECRs whose reseach contributes to the work of the Institutes of Classical Studies, English Studies, and Language Cultures, and Societies. The cross-disciplinary scope reflects St Clair's own wide-ranging interests...

[Seb Marshall @SebAMarshall]

If you're interested in landscape, photography, or the history of travel to Greece, sign up to hear me talk about a new project I've recently begun in Athens this evening!
