Stephen Hinds is Professor of Classics at the University of Washington, Seattle.  He is the author of The Metamorphosis of Persephone: Ovid and the Self-Conscious Muse (Cambridge 1987) and Allusion and Intertext: Dynamics of Appropriation in Roman Poetry (Cambridge 1998).  With Denis Feeney, he co-founded and co-edited the Cambridge book series Roman Literature and its Contexts (13 volumes, with the final title published in 2016).  Among his most recent articles are 'Return to Enna:  Ovid and Ovidianism in Claudian's De Raptu Proserpinae' (2016), 'Pastoral and its Futures: Reading like (a) Mantuan' (2017), 'Pre- and Post-Digital Poetics of "Transliteralism": Some Greco-Roman Epic Incipits' (2020), and 'In and Out of Latin:  Diptych and Virtual Diptych in Marvell, Milton, Du Bellay and Others' (2020); details in the pdf CV linked to this page.  A book under contract with Cambridge, with the working title Latin Poetry across Languages: Allusion, Translation and Classical Tradition, involves exploration of the cross-linguistic and intercultural relations of Latin literature, both in antiquity and between antiquity and (early) modernity.   More longstanding commitments include a Cambridge ‘green and yellow’ commentary on Ovid, Tristia 1.  Stephen's page on academia.edu offers access to some work in progress, along with a few less readily accessible items among his recent publications; he has added further pdfs from his backlist during the pandemic period of intermittently restricted access to libraries.
