\nand dress as a short hand for all aspects of ancient life. Authors were skilled at
\nmanipulating descriptions of the dressed individual to produce character
\nvignettes; textile metaphors abound in all genres of writing, suggesting that
\naudiences had a shared understanding not only of the language of dress but also
\nthe methods of production.
\nThis one day seminar invites paper from scholars working on all aspects of dress
\nand textiles in Greek and Latin literature \u2013 defined for this purpose as poetry,
\nprose, philosophy and letters.
\nPresentations should be only 15 minutes long as our aim is to promote discussion
\nand an exchange of ideas. You can present work in progress or discuss a precirculated longer paper. A second seminar will take place at the University of
\nBirmingham, UK, in 2013.
\nThe day will run from 10-17, followed by dinner in Copenhagen.
\nSome travel funding may be available.
\nAbstracts should be sent by the end of April, to:
