My chief interest is in Latin and Hellenistic Greek poetry and in the relation of the two. I am also interested in MSS and textual criticism and have edited Persius and Juvenal for the Oxford Press. I have recently finished a book on Virgil's Aeneid, which is an extensive revision of my Sather Lectures (1982, published 1987). I am now working on a medieval text of the schola of Persius.
