Alex Dressler is Assistant Professor of Classics at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He is the author of several published or forthcoming articles on topics including Greek and Roman tragedy, the Greek novel, Roman rhetorical theory, as well as a translation of Seneca’s Trojan Women for the Chicago Seneca series. His current research interests range from Hellenistic philosophy and Roman comedy to feminist and Marxist approaches to the Classics, which include topics such as ethics, aesthetics, and materialism. He is concluding a book entitled Personhood and Personification: Literature, Philosophy, and the Feminine in Rome, and has just begun a book project tentatively entitled Art and Life in Latin Literature, which explores the alternative basis of ethical action provided by the autonomy of culture for Roman authors from Plautus to Paulinus of Nola.
