- This volume originated in an international conference 'Psychogeographies in Latin Literature' held at Kings College London in July 2013. After the conference we decided not to restrict the field of our volume to the intersection of Latin literature with the psychogeographical movement but to consider Latin literature in relation to the 'spatial turn' in contemporary theory more broadly. We made some adjustment to the list of contributors accordingly. I was heavily involved in organising and funding the conference, which took place at KCL, and after that in planning publication with my co-editor. In the final volume one of the speakers was omitted and one new chapter (in addition to mine) was solicited. My own contribution (ch.6) was written subsequently to the conference and involved on my part new work on Horace, Catullus and Martial. The co-editors shared the writing of the Introduction: my part covered the state of scholarship on space in ancient literature, Greek and Latin, the origins of the spatial turn in the Humanities and the trajectory and shape of the volume and its overarching themes. Everything about the volume (order of chapters, presentation, publicity) was discussed between the editors and the individual submissions were divided between the editors for comment before revision. Two of the chapters I dealt with required fairly extensive commentary prior to revision on matters of argument and clarity of expression.
