Dr John Colley’s first monograph, Humanism, English Literature, and the Translation of Greek, 1430-1560 (Oxford University Press) is scheduled for online publication in April 2025.

The book traces the influence of the Quattrocento rebirth of Greek scholarship on fifteenth- and sixteenth-century English literature, and argues that attending to the period’s ideas about Greek translation fundamentally alters our perception of Tudor humanism and the classical tradition more widely.
