The People's History of Classics began life as an AHRC-funded research project based at King's College, London called Classics and Class in Britain 1789-1917. Our primary aim was to present and amplify the many lost voices of British working-class men and women who engaged with ancient Greek and Roman culture throughout the period. We wanted to show the richness and diversity of the responses to ancient Greece and Rome among those who are often thought to have been excluded from it. By presenting their stories now, via the Archive of Encounters, we hope that their example may inspire a more inclusive atmosphere for participation in classical culture across society today.
