Classics Research Lab: The John Addington Symonds Project

Butler, Shane Shane
Classics Research Lab: The John Addington Symonds Project AS.040.420 (01)
Launched in January 2019, this CRL project investigates the life and work of the Victorian scholar and writer John Addington Symonds (1840–93). Symonds, trained at Oxford in Classics, was the author of one of the first major studies in English of Ancient Greek Sexuality, “A Problem in Greek Ethics,” printed in just ten copies, one of which is held by Johns Hopkins. He also introduced the word “homosexual,” first coined in German, into English print, and his influence on the emerging struggle for gay rights was immense. A major task of JASP is the reconstruction of the contents of his personal library, in part on the basis of rare archival materials and the recently published full text of his secret autobiography. More information at symondsproject.org. Under the supervision of the project’s two directors, Shane Butler (Classics) and Gabrielle Dean (MSEL), participants will learn advanced research methods, generate new knowledge, and disseminate their results.
