David Hopkins is Emeritus Professor of English Literature and Senior Research Fellow at the University of Bristol. His teaching and research interests have largely been focused on English poetry and literary criticism of the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries (especially Milton, Cowley, Dryden, Pope, and Johnson) and on English/Classical literary relations.
Charles Martindale is Emeritus Professor of Latin and Dean of Arts at the University of Bristol. His research interests are wide-ranging, with a particular commitment to cross-disciplinary research. He is interested in Latin poetry (particularly Catullus, Virgil, Horace, Ovid, Lucan) and its reception, especially in English literature.

OHCREL offers an investigation of the many diverse ways in which literary texts of the classical world have been responded to and refashioned by English writers. Covering English literature from the early Middle Ages to the present, it both synthesizes existing scholarship and presents new research. This third volume covers the years 1660-1790.
