Professor Anna Chahoud

CHAIR OF LATIN (1870) (Classics)
ARTS BUILDING


I studied Classics in Bologna (Laurea in Lettere Classiche, 1991) and Pisa (Dottorato di Ricerca in Filologia greco-latina, 1996), and worked in England (Reading, 1997-8, and Durham, 1998-1999) before coming to Ireland in 1999. My research concentrates on early Latin and the transmission of Latin texts from antiquity to the early modern period. I have long been engaged in the study of fragmentary Republican satire, working on a new edition of, and the first English-language commentary, on the fragments of Lucilius. I am the author of a systematic study of Lucilius, of articles on Republican Latin and the grammatical tradition, and co-editor (with E. Dickey) of Colloquial and Literary Latin (Cambridge University Press 2010). I contributed to the New Oxford Dictionary of National Biography and am consulting editor for the Bryn Mawr Classical Review. I am a Fellow of Trinity College (FTCD[2007]) and College Public Orator.

My research focuses on two main areas - Early Latin language and literature and the transmission of Latin texts from antiquity to the early modern period. I am especially interested in the interaction between literary and spoken language in the process of formation of genre-specific poetic diction in Roman Republican literature. My primary interest is in early Roman satire; my commentary on the fragments of Lucilius (in progress) investigates the relationships between hexametrical poetry and the comic register on the one hand and stylized prose on the other. I am also working on an edition of fragments of Republican Latin satire, political invective and popular verse for Harvard University Press, which explores the relationship between the literary genre and colloquial, sub-literary and non-literary Latin. My concern with the survival of fragmentary texts through the grammatical and scholarly tradition of Classical and Late Antiquity has led to a wider study of ancient Latin linguistics in its own right.
