ABSTRACT
First Published in 2004. The seventeenth-century physician John Bulwer’s book, better known by its neologistic classical title Anthropometamorphosis, ‘humanitychanging’, provided the inspiration for a conference held in the Classics Department at Warwick University in April 1994. The papers delivered there are the nucleus of this collection.
