About our guest:
Nathaniel Hess’s background is in Classics, which he studied between 2014 and 2023 for three consecutive degrees at the University of Cambridge. Awoken in part by his own experience in composing Greek and Latin verse, his interest in the possibilities and challenges of expressing oneself in a “dead language” led him to the study of the European Renaissance—a crucial mediator between antiquity and the modern discipline of Classics, but also a period which encoded cultural peculiarities of its own in these languages.
