Stefan Tilg received his PhD in Classics in Innsbruck, Austria
(2003). He was Assistant to the chair of Latin at the University of
Bern (2003-2006). Various scholarships brought him to Corpus
Christi College, Oxford, the Centre for Hellenic Studies in
Washington D.C., and the Klassisch-Philologisches Seminar of the
University of Zurich (2006-2010). Currently he is the Director of
the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Neo-Latin Literature in
Innsbruck and Privatdozent
at the University of Zurich. His main research topics have been the
ancient novel and Neo-Latin drama. He is the author of Chariton of
Aphrodisias and the Invention of the Greek Love Novel (OUP 2010).
Tilg has written a perceptive and valuable book ... he has also put
forward new and intriguing suggestions about the relationship of
Apuleius' novel to its Greek source and brought new texts to bear
in the consideration of the book as a philosophical novel.
