4.11 Victoria Moul reads poetry in translation from Literary Imagination

From the new issue of Literary Imagination, one of the newest journals to join the Hopkins Press Journals roster, Victoria Moul reads originals and her translations of works by Julian the Apostate, Horace, a Latin didactic, and an ancient Pāli poem from the Therīgāthā — the oldest existing collection of poetry by women. Victoria Moul is a British literary critic, scholar, poet and translator living in Paris. She's held a series of academic posts at Queen’s College, Oxford; Cambridge; and King’s College London, and most recently was Professor of Early Modern Latin and English at University College London. Victoria publishes a Substack about poetry and translation, Horace & Friends, and reviews regularly for other venues, including the Times Literary Supplement, PN Review, The Dark Horse and The Friday Poem. We publish a lot of poetry in the Hopkins Press Journals, and as we move into 2026 we’ll be offering more readings on the podcast, and pepper in some shorter episodes among the long form interviews.
