About this journal

Trends in Classics publishes innovative, interdisciplinary work which brings to the study of Greek and Latin texts the insights and methods of related disciplines such as narratology, intertextuality, reader-response criticism, and oral poetics. Both the journal and the accompanying monograph series Trends in Classics – Supplementary Volumes seeks to publish research across the full range of classical antiquity.

The journal is published twice a year with approx. 160 pp. per issue. All contributions are in English and accompanied by an English abstract. Each year one issue is devoted to a specific subject with articles edited by a guest editor. Recent special issues include: 2017: Hellenistic Lyricism, ed. by Evian Sistakou; 2019: Intermediality and Roman Literature, ed. by Martin T. Dinter and Bettina Reitz-Joosee.
