Autorenporträt
Stuart Gillespie is a Reader in English Literature at the University of Glasgow whose research interests lie in English literary classicism and translation. He is the founding editor of Translation and Literature (Edinburgh UP, 1992-present), now the pre-eminent academic journal in this field, and was from 2001 joint general editor of the Oxford History of Literary Translation in English, co-editing two of its five volumes. There followed The Cambridge Companion to Lucretius (co-edited with Philip Hardie; CUP, 2007) and the monograph English Translation and Classical Reception: Towards a New Literary History (Wiley, 2011), the first book to address a range of English classical translations found only in manuscript.
