- This output consists of a co-edited volume, including the co-authored introduction, Regine May's own chapter and main editing work for the whole contribution as the major editor. The volume derives from a Leeds conference on the Reception of Cupid and Psyche since 1600 in July 2016, which Regine May organised with input from Stephen Harrison. It brought together a team of 29 international scholars, and a selection of their papers were published in the book. It became the founding volume in De Gruyter's new series Trends in Classics: Pathways of Reception and was introduced before publication as such at the international FIEC/CA Conference 2019 in London. It forms part of an ongoing project by Harrison and May, who are completing their co-written book on the European reception of Apuleius' Cupid and Psyche in 2021. The book chapters include case studies of specific authors or artists and their reception of the ancient love story as well as overview chapters discussing whole genres to reflect the importance and widespread use of the story from Restauration drama to Disney movies.The project was funded by grants from the British Academy / Leverhulme Small Research Grant, The Hugh Last Fund, the Audrey Barrie Brown Memorial Fund and the Donald Atkinson Fund, as well as some small grants from Corpus Christ College Oxford.
