Jared Hudson joined the Classics department at Harvard in 2014 after teaching at Trinity University. He received a BA from Yale, MPhil from Cambridge, and PhD in Classics from the University of California, Berkeley. His first book, The Rhetoric of Roman Transportation: Vehicles in Latin Literature (Cambridge University Press, 2021; BMCR review here), investigates the function of ancient Roman modes of transport in Latin literary texts. He is primarily interested in Latin prose literature (especially authors of the late republic such as Cicero, Sallust, and Varro), but is more generally interested in the interactions between Latin literature and Roman culture, the Roman rhetorical and grammatical tradition, and ancient ("popular") etymology, both Greek and Latin. He is currently finishing a book on the Latin geographical writer Pomponius Mela and Roman representations of global space (Pomponius Mela's Peripheral Vision: Latin Geography in the Roman Emipre, under contract with Cambridge University Press).
