CRGR invites you to the Truth and Wonder book launch

The Centre for the Reception of Greece and Rome (CRGR) is delighted to invite you to the online book launch of Prof. Robert Eaglestone’s new book, Truth and Wonder: A Literary Introduction to Plato and Aristotle. The launch will take place on 3rd March at 1pm-3pm.

Truth and Wonder is an accessible introduction to Plato and Aristotle, showing their crucial influence for literary and cultural studies, modern languages and related disciplines. It focuses on both what Plato and Aristotle say about literature and how they say it, and so demonstrates the ways their philosophies still shape our reading, thinking and living.

We are delighted to be joined by Genevieve Liveley (Bristol), Miriam Leonard (UCL), John Sellars (Royal Holloway) and Jennifer Wallace (Cambridge). Our four panelists will each reflect briefly on the book, and speak about Plato and Aristotle for and as literature, before we open the floor to wider discussion.

We very much hope you will join us to celebrate this exciting new book. If you would like to attend the launch, please register through the ‘Book Tickets’ feature above or through the following link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/book-launch-truth-and-wonder-robert-eaglestone-tickets-263736090747; links to the Teams event will be sent out on the day.
