  After obtaining my MA in Classics, I taught ancient Greek and Latin at a secondary school for 4 years (2002-2006). Meanwhile, I started working on a PhD thesis on Latin poetry. From 2006 onwards I am doing this with a research scholarship from Leiden University. I am combining my research position with a job as teacher of Latin in the Department of Classics at Leiden University. Through my research I became interested in the ancient poetry book, and as a consequence I am writing a booklet for the general public on the book and reading in classical antiquity. I already became interested in the book in general as an undergraduate student, when I worked for two years in an antiquarian bookstore and for instance learned how to bind books. Less
