Is the Study of Greek and Roman Classics Elitist?
By Edith Hall
Prof. Edith Hall gives the Wilde Lecture at the Manchester Lit. and Phil. Society on 4 November 2013 to speak on the question ‘Is the Study of Greek and Roman Classics Elitist?’ By breaking down Thomas Paine’s four arguments that Classics is elitist and drawing on a range of texts, Hall analyses the discipline’s stance in relation to human progress, its content, its practice, and its history.
