Glenn Most

Glenn W. Most was trained in Comparative Literature and Classics in Europe and America; he is Professor of Ancient Greek at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa and teaches at the University of Chicago in the Committee on Social Thought and in the Departments of Classics and of Comparative Literature.

Among his projects for the coming years are a monograph on the figure of Doubting Thomas, the new Loeb edition of Hesiod, an English translation of Sebastiano Timpanaro's study of the genesis of the method of Lachmann, and, for the years thereafter, a large, but not exhaustive, one-volume companion to the Classical tradition.

Professor Most's selected publications include The Poetics of Murder: Detective Fiction and Literary Theory, ed. with W.W. Stowe (1983); The Measures of Praise: Structure and function in Pindar's Second Pythian and Seventh Nemean Odes = Hypomnemata 83 (1985); F.A. Wolf: Prolegomena to Homer, ed. with A.T. Grafton and J.E.G. Zetzel (1985); Theophrasus, Metaphisics, ed. with A. Laks (1993); Studies on the Derveni Papyrus, ed. with A. Laks (1997); and Raffael, Die Schule von Athen.
