Finley in America
By Fred Naiden
In his video interview with Keith Hopkins in 1985, Moses Finley makes his longest known comments about his years in the United States. He describes not only some differences between his own training and that of most ancient historians, but also differences between intellectual life as he knew it in New York City in the 1930s and 40s and academic life in Cambridge.
Finley in Britain

Finley in Britain
This paper selects for consideration and discussion four aspects of Finley’s activities once he was established in a tenured position in ancient history in the Cambridge Faculty of Classics from 1955. All four are essential for an understanding of his work in Britain, even though they are by no means uniformly raised in the 1985 interview with Keith Hopkins, if at all.
