Pfundblog

I’m James M. Pfundstein. That’s me at left.

My title at BGSU is Teaching Professor; I’ve been teaching here since 1997. I received my Ph.D. in Classics (Latin and Greek) from the University of Minnesota in August 2000. My research interests are in Seneca’s dramatic poetry and ancient astronomy in poetry (especially but not exclusively Seneca’s).

I teach a mix of courses in Latin and various kinds of mythology.

And, since Wikipedia knows, there is no reason you should not know that I also write fantasy under the “pseudoplume or nom de nym” of James Enge. My first novel, Blood of Ambrose (Pyr, 2009) was a finalist for the World Fantasy Award; its French translation was shortlisted for the Prix Imaginales in the next year. I have stories out within the last year in Tales from the Magician’s Skull and The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction.

If you want to find me online, I’m on Mastodon, on Facebook, and on Bluesky. I’ve also been updating the Engeblog fairly regularly.
