Autorenporträt
Michael Jeffreys read Classics at Cambridge before embarking upon a decade of high-school teaching, during which time he earned his doctorate from Birkbeck College, London, on the relation of written early modern Greek poetry to oral verse in its background. After scholarships in the USA and Greece he became lecturer and finally professor of Modern Greek at the University of Sydney. After taking early retirement in 2000 he has since continued his research alongside his wife in Oxford, concentrating largely on issues at the interface of Byzantine Greek language and literature. Marc D. Lauxtermann is Bywater and Sotheby Professor of Byzantine and Modern Greek Language and Literature at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of Exeter College. Before coming to Oxford in 2007, he served as Professor of Modern Greek and Byzantine Studies at the University of Amsterdam. His books include The Spring of Rhythm. An Essay on the Political Verse and Other Byzantine Metres (Vienna, 1999) and Byzantine Poetry from Pisides to Geometres. Texts and Contexts, vol. I (Vienna, 2003), the second volume to which he is currently working on. His recent publications focus on eleventh- and twelfth-century prose and poetry as well as on scholars, grammars, and dictionaries in early modern Europe.
