Boris (Rodin) Maslov
Boris (Rodin) Maslov’s research centers on Archaic Greek poetry (especially Pindar), imperial/Byzantine Greek and premodern Russian literatures, and Soviet modernist prose. He is currently working on a book project on the genealogy of the ode and a series of studies on the afterlife of Greek conceptual vocabulary in Byzantium and Old Rus’. Boris Maslov’s broader research and teaching interests include linguistic and sociological approaches to poetics, comparative conceptual history, philology of cultural import, and narrative theory.
