Abby Barton

Abby Barton is a member of the class of 2026 and is majoring in English and philosophy. Her interest in classical literature began after taking courses in Greek and Roman mythology through the English department. In addition, Abby began studying Latin in the summer of 2023 with professor of English, Dr. Ann Hubert. This project enabled her to combine the study of classical literature with the study of classical language. She hopes that the research on and reading of Ovid’s Metamorphoses will make its way into a future project about classical reception in 19th century English literature.
