Irina Tautschnig
Postdoctoral Fellow
Irina Tautschnig is Postdoctoral Research Associate on the AHRC/DFG-funded project Scientific Poetry and Poetics in Britain and Germany, from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment at the University of York. She completed her PhD in Latin Literature at the University of Innsbruck in 2023.
Irina works on Neo-Latin and New Ancient Greek Literature, with a particular focus on Neo-Latin scientific poetry between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. This interest continues from her doctoral research on the reception of Copernicus and the Copernican system in Neo-Latin and New Ancient Greek poetry.
During her time at Harvard, she is editing and translating Neo-Latin poems for the first anthology of Renaissance and early modern scientific verse.
