- **Event Name**: Rhetoric, drama and their critics:  a symposium in memory of Professor Malcolm Heath
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 21 May, 2026 at 11:00 am – Fri, 22 May, 2026 at 04:00 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: The symposium is to be a celebration of the contribution to Classics of Malcolm Heath, who died in February 2025, early in his retirement, having been Professor of Greek Language and Literature after 34 years at Leeds (1988-2022).  Our title ‘Rhetoric, drama and their critics’ is an attempt to capture the extraordinary breadth of Prof. Heath’s interests, ranging chronologically and generically from Homeric epic poetry via tragedy, comedy and Aristotelian philosophy to the rhetorical theory of late antiquity.  
Papers of c.30 minutes in length are invited to reflect something of this range, especially from former collaborators and students.  Our aim is for the papers delivered, and discussion at the symposium, to provide the basis for an edited volume as a Festschrift in Prof. Heath’s memory.
