The Future of Literature

In British schools, do they still teach Latin? Because I don't think you can get it in American schools. You and your parents have to ask for it a bit more. There's a new generation of classicists. Almost all women. Wilson is a brilliant new translation of the Iliad. And there's Natalie Hughes, Madeline Miller, who's at the song of Achilles and Cersei - both prize-winning, brilliant books. So it is alive. It's, I mean, it's, I'm sure something we'll come to later, but I always get little tired of people who think that technology sweeps everything away.
