Description of Research

Summary Statement of Research Interests

A graduate of the Universities of Manchester and Cambridge in the United Kingdom, Professor Boyle taught for twenty years at Monash University Australia before taking up his appointment at USC in 1989. His primary area of research is Roman literature of the late republic and the early empire. At the undergraduate level he teaches a variety of Latin language and literature classes and more general courses on Roman civilization, literature in translation (especially drama), politics and art. His graduate seminars address particular authors, or genres, or the Latin literary system as a whole, emphasizing the semiotic interplay between text and text and text and culture. He is the author or editor of twenty two books on Roman literature with especial concentration on Virgil, Ovid and Seneca; his current projects are an edition of Seneca's Medea for Oxford University Press and an edited collection of critical essays on 'The Roman Medea'. Professor Boyle is editor of the classical literary journal, Ramus, which will celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2011.
