- The Production of Space in Latin Literature is the first concerted and extensive attempt to map and theorise the making of space in Latin literature through tracing the movement of the individual in Roman literary discourses. The volume developed from a conference co-organised by The Centre of the Reception of Greece and Rome at Royal Holloway and the Classics Department at King’s College London entitled ‘Psychogeographies in Latin Literature’ organised by Dr Spentzou and Prof. Fitzgerald. Efrossini Spentzou and her co-editor, William Fitzgerald, then developed the theoretical underpinnings of the project and provided firm editorial guidance to an international cast of contributors, co-ordinating the contributions to encourage a persistent focus on the implication of the spatial in the political and the centrality of the individual in a manner innovative within Latin literary studies. The editors amplified the coherence and intellectual impact of the volume through an extensive c.9000 words Introduction in which Spentzou had the responsibility for the laying out of the spatial theory underpinning the project and for developing a generous roadmap of multiple connections, and trajectories promoted by the project. Spentzou also contributed a single-authored c. 8000 words article introducing the figure of the flậneur to the streets of Imperial Rome. As one reviewer put it: ‘Individually and as a collection, the papers make a compelling case for the incorporation of spatial theory into the philologist's analytical toolkit.’
