'Teaching and Learning Classics at the University Level, Vol. 4' focuses on the teaching of literature, digital approaches, and research methodologies in Greek and Roman antiquity. The 14 chapters examine the approaches to teaching key topics, including Digital Humanities, the use of digital tools in the study of antiquity, academic research in ancient history, ancient philosophy and rhetoric, as well as palaeography, codicology, papyrology, and textual criticism. They also explore the teaching of major literary traditions, including Homer, Roman epic poetry, Late Antique Latin literature, and Medieval and Modern Latin drama, as well as innovative approaches such as mapping and employability within Classics. Presenting teaching as a reflective and research-informed activity, this volume is intended for university lecturers, teacher trainers, and graduate students interested in classical literature, digital humanities, and research-based approaches to the study of antiquity in higher education.

"Teaching and Learning Classics at the University Level", edited by Alberto Regagliolo, is an ambitious and welcome contribution to the pedagogy of Classical Studies. At first sight, the project might appear counterintuitive today: how can we continue to speak about the ancient world, in all its many dimensions, to a society that seems more concerned with the present and understandably preoccupied with the future? For Regagliolo and his collaborators, this is precisely the question that must be addressed. Across four substantial volumes, scholars from different academic traditions offer both practical reflections and methodological perspectives on how Greek, Latin, ancient culture, and their reception can still be taught today. Spanning a wide range of subjects-from language and literature to material culture, digital humanities, and pedagogy-the collection combines theoretical reflection with concrete teaching experience. The essays reveal the diversity of approaches currently shaping the discipline while also raising broader questions about the place of Classics in modern higher education. I am sure this ambitious project will be of great interest to scholars and teachers seeking to rethink how antiquity is taught in the twenty-first-century university.
