- This 170,000 word monograph on Clement's miscellany (the Stromateis) comprises original scholarship at the interface between Classics and Patristic Theology, and is the product of 7 years’ research. Its analysis of miscellany draws on five lengthy texts in ancient Greek and Latin, produced in different cultural contexts, usually studied in different disciplines (four of them in Classics, one in Theology). It goes beyond pre-existing scholarship in addressing in detail the relationship of Clement's miscellany to Classical examples of the genre and in studying it within the context of the longer literary project in which it was placed.
