Images of British Sea Power in Liverpool: The Dynamic Relationship between Greek and Roman Art and British Colonial Identity in Liverpool's Civic Spaces


About the Project
An interdisciplinary Classics/History project researching the relationship between Greek and Roman mythological imagery, architecture and the politics and society of C19th and C20th Liverpool and the British Empire.
The British Empire drew heavily on the ancient civilisations of Greece and Rome as both a justification and inspiration for its colonial, military and commercial practices. Classical Greco-Roman art and mythology also inspired British writers, artists and architects. When large colonial institutions, both public and private, commissioned buildings, their exteriors were often richly adorned with Classical imagery of ancient sea-gods, monsters and warships. This project aims to locate, date, and identify each of these ancient mythological images used in the architecture of the port city of Liverpool to understand how their prominent use in public spaces reflected a shared understanding of the Classical tradition within British society, its connection to the British Empire and how these changed over time in a dynamic relationship between empire, architecture and people.
This is an interdisciplinary project that combines Classics with modern History. The successful student will be required to have good first degrees in a relevant subject. A knowledge of Ancient History, Classical Archaeology Greek/Latin language and working with archival/historical materials is highly desirable. A willingness to learn and/or prior experience of Excel and GIS are also essential.
The project will produce new understanding of how sound mediates spirituality and wellbeing in water-shaped environments and will demonstrate the value of sensory heritage in supporting adaptation to environmental change.
This project is offered as part of The AHRC-NERC Living Well with Water [LWwW] Doctoral Focal Award at the University's of Hull and Liverpool, in partnership with National Trust, Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) and Tate Liverpool. By applying for one of our fully funded interdisciplinary doctoral awards you will explore the relationship between water, culture and community in coastal regions and become part of a new generation of researchers shaping solutions to urgent human and planetary health challenges.
You will participate in our innovative doctoral training programme, undertake a placement with one of our partner organisations, and learn research skills transferable to a variety of future careers.
