Literature review

Literature review

The project members, guests, and colleagues meet weekly for a discussion of ancient sources and scholarly literature on the theme of honour.

The results of our discussions are summed up by the reviews collected in this section.

If you happen to be in Edinburgh during the academic year, we meet every Wednesday from 13 to 14 in room G.11, School HCA, William Robertson Wing, Old Medical School, on Teviot Place (Doorway 4): feel free to contribute to our Lesefrüchte! We can also include discussants via Skype - just get in touch.
