From the new issue of Literary Imagination, one of the newest journals to join the Hopkins Press Journals roster, Victoria Moul reads originals and her translations of works by Julian the Apostate, Horace, a Latin didactic, and an ancient Pāli poem from the Therīgāthā — the oldest existing collection of poetry by women.
Victoria Moul is a British literary critic, scholar, poet and translator living in Paris.
She's held a series of academic posts at Queen’s College, Oxford; Cambridge; and King’s College London, and most recently was Professor of Early Modern Latin and English at University College London.
Victoria publishes a Substack about poetry and translation, Horace & Friends, and reviews regularly for other venues, including the Times Literary Supplement, PN Review, The Dark Horse and The Friday Poem.
We publish a lot of poetry in the Hopkins Press Journals, and as we move into 2026 we’ll be offering more readings on the podcast, and pepper in some shorter episodes among the long form interviews.

3.9 Koritha Mitchell: On Know-Your-Place Aggressions and Cultivating Connections
Koritha Mitchell is is a public intellectual, a professor of English, a literary historian, an award-winning author and cultural critic, and as of last year she is also a member of the Hopkins Press Advisory Board. Her work has already had quite an impact both within the academy as well as in the larger public sphere.
Her article "Identifying White Mediocrity and Know-Your-Place Aggression: A Form of Self-Care", which was published in African American Review in 2018, has impacted both the academy and the mainstream. Thousands of readers are still finding the article each year, making it one of our consistently most-read Hopkins Press Journal articles on Project MUSE.
In our recent Hopkins Press Podcast interview, Mitchell defines her groundbreaking concept of "know-your-place aggression" as "a reaction to the success of people who are not supposed to be successful," and the idea has resonated into recent articles about Junot Diaz in Chronicle of Higher Education and Shedeur Sanders in Esquire, and a 2024 interview with Mitchell published in Public Books brought her work to the attention of numerous new readers.
Over the years, Mitchell has been a prolific contributor to several of the journals that call Hopkins Press home, including Callaloo, African American Review, American Quarterly, Theatre Journal, and J19: The Journal of Nineteenth-Century Americanists.
