Classical Continuum

An Open Access Rapid Publication Platform for New Research on ‘classical’ Civilizations sponsored by the New Alexandria Foundation.

Classical Continuum is designed for short and longer publication of research in the broad category of “classical” civilizations – in other words, not just Ancient Greece and Rome, but Classical Sanskrit, Classical Arabic, Classical Persian, Classical Chinese, Classical K’iche’, and so on. The contributors to Classical Continuum are professors and students working at Harvard University in a variety of departments (such as Comparative Literature, Classics, Celtic Languages and Literatures, Near Eastern Languages and Literatures, East Asian Languages and Civilizations, Religion, Anthropology), but our team also includes participants from other institutions. The technical infrastructure of CC is a project of the New Alexandria Foundation, and has recently launched a new book series, published under the auspices of the Department of Comparative Literature and distributed by Harvard University Press, designed to present monographs on research pertinent to the project’s mission.
