In my opinion, these volumes constitute an essential reference work for all those engaged in the instruction of Classics, as they address the most pertinent topics from a variety of methodologies, and they offer extremely useful materials and resources.

"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.

'Teaching and Learning Classics at the University Level, Vol. 1' focuses on the teaching of Greek and Latin, with a particular emphasis on language, linguistics, and teacher training. The 13 chapters examine the approaches to teaching Greek and Latin for beginners and advanced students, including metrics, historical and descriptive grammar, linguistic typology, translation, and prose composition, as well as the role of Latin in the Humanities and in specialized fields such as medical terminology. The volume also addresses the training of teachers and lecturers in Classics, exploring how linguistic expertise and pedagogical practice are developed within the university context. Presenting teaching as a reflective and research-informed activity, this volume is intended for university lecturers, teacher trainers, and graduate students interested in classical language pedagogy and the future of Greek and Latin instruction in higher education.
