Currently I am working on two project that concern antiquity in Sweden. One project focuses on ancient Greek in school, university, poetry and speech in the Swedish empire. With researchers in Tartu and Helsinki, we seek to answer questions like why did some chose to use (Humanist) Greek in stead of (Neo-)Latin? Prestige, show of learning and ambition are obvious answers, but related to the wider context, what else can have been at stake? Who were the authors? For whom did they write? What did they write? The other project is a study on Swedish translators of ancient literature (the 16th to the 21st centuries). The aim is to study the small section of the Swedish reception of Antiquity accessed through the translations. The material allows us to follow changes and continuities in Swedish perception and interpretation of the literatures of Antiquity over more than 400 years.

In the Research Portal you can search and find information about all active researchers, units, publications, projects, infrastructures, and more, to get an overview of Lund University research.
