Dear Reader,

My name is Tilda, aka the Pop Classicist!

I am a 26-year-old author, student, artist and teacher, born and raised in London, and educated at Cambridge.

When I am not working on these creative and educational ventures, you will most likely find me in a bookshop, gallery, theatre, or on the football pitch. My other hobbies include playing guitar; cooking; surfing; running; hiking; and wild-swimming.

If you would like to learn more about me, or to tell me about you, please get in touch via the contact form at the bottom of this page! I would love to make your acquaintance.

STUDENT

I have an MPhil and BA in Classics from the University of Cambridge, where I specialised in Classical Reception and produced research including:

• MPhil Thesis: ‘Caesar(s) in Pop’ – an exploration of Julius Caesar in pop music.
• MPhil Project I: ‘‘Classical Presences in E.M. Forster’s Early Short Stories’.
• MPhil Project II: ‘Classical Sculpture and Scientific Racism’.
• MPhil Project III: ‘Gore Vidal’s Conceptualisation of Sexuality: from Ancient Rome to Hollywood’.
• BA Thesis: ‘Mark Twain and Petronius’.

Going forward, I hope to commence a PhD in Classical Reception/Comparative Literature.

TEACHER

From my Mum to my Granny to my Great-Aunt, I hail from a family of teachers. Education – and increasing the accessibility of languages, literatures, and histories – is at the heart of both my academic and creative practices.

At present, I offer one-to-one support to students in Classics, Latin, and English. Read more below!

AUTHOR

I am currently seeking representation for my first novel, A STORY OF SORROW, a science-fiction retelling of Homer’s Iliad. If this project sounds of interest you, please get in touch. I would love to tell you more about it.

ARTIST

Coming soon.
