Constanze Güthenke

Constanze Güthenke, Assistant Professor in the Department of Classics and Hellenic Studies, will serve as study leader for this program. At Princeton, Professor Güthenke teaches courses ranging from Classical to Modern Greek, as well as topics concerning the afterlives of antiquity (including one on Homer after Homer) and the history of scholarship. She came to Princeton in 2002 after receiving degrees in Classics and Comparative Literature from Cambridge University and Oxford University. Her book on literary representations of Greece in European and Greek writing of the early nineteenth century is forthcoming from Oxford University Press in 2008. She has lived and traveled in Greece extensively as a student, scholar, researcher, conference organizer, and, most recently, as the seminar instructor of twelve Princeton undergraduates on a class trip.
