Acknowledgments
James Morwood was elected to a Fellowship at Wadham College in
1966, where he taught and served as Dean of Degrees, Steward of
Common Room, and Dean (the last post from 2000 to 2006). He became
an Emeritus Fellow in 2006 and remains Editor of the Wadham
Gazette. He still does some teaching at the college.
James was educated at Peterhouse, Cambridge, where he sat Part I of
the Classical Tripos and Part II of the English Tripos. After a
year at Merton College, Oxford on the course for the Diploma of
Education, he went to Harrow School in September 1966 to teach
Classics and English. He spent 30 years at Harrow, the last
seventeen of them as Head of Classics. He was deeply involved in
school journalism and drama, working with Richard Curtis and Ben
Cumberbatch among many others. He was librarian
for more than eleven years, and sat on and later chaired the
school's Treasures Committee, a body which brought into existence
the Old Speech Room Gallery.
In 1996 he moved to Oxford University and took up the post of
Grocyn Lecturer in the Classics Faculty and served for a year as
President of the Oxford Philological Society.
James has been a committed member of the Joint Association of
Classical teachers and held the Presidency of the Association for
1999-2001, becoming an Honorary Member in 2011. He was President of
the London Association of Classical Teachers for 1995-6; has been a
regular tutor at the JACT Greek Summer School at Cheltenham and
Bryanston since 1970, serving as its Director of Studies, and its
Director. He also teaches Classics and English literature at the
University of Cambridge Institute of
Continuing Education.
With Eric Dugdale, he is currently editing a new series entitiled
'Greece and Rome: Texts and Contexts'. His revision of the Oxford
Latin Course for North American college students was published in
January 2012; his book on Hadrian (Bloomsbury) was published in the
summer 2013.
Current projects include an edition of Virgil, Aeneid 3 (with
Stephen Heyworth), an edition (with Chris Collard) of Euripedes'
Iphegenia at Aulis and A Little Greek Reader (with Stephen
Anderson-Oxford University Press). He lectures on cruises in the
Adriatic and Agean, last September sailing from Istanbul to Athens.
"Athenaze, Books I and II, presents a thoughtful, reading-based
approach to learning ancient Greek. Both books are interspersed
with superbly written cultural and historical essays that introduce
readers to the signature characteristics of Greek
culture."--Stephen Esposito, Boston University
"I have found Athenaze's methodology successful with today's broad
range of student learning styles and varied levels of language
sophistication."--Elizabeth A. Fisher, George Washington
University
"Athenaze is an excellent adaptation of the reading approach for
ancient Greek, with excellent Greek readings."--Nicholas Rynearson,
University of Georgia
"The approach is student friendly, the readings are varied and
interesting, and the grammatical explanations are clear."--Laurie
Cosgriff, Portland State University
"Athenaze is the best text for learning ancient Greek.
Period."--George Rudebusch, Northern Arizona University
"The storyline and characters of the text readily draw students
into the language and culture of the Greeks. Athenaze is arguably
the best first-year Greek text on the market."--Richard L.
Phillips, Virginia Tech University
