Ábel Tamás is an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Hungarian Literature and Cultural Studies within the Faculty of Humanities at Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) in Budapest. He also holds concurrent lecturer positions in the Department of Comparative Literature and Cultural Studies and the General Literary Studies Research Group. His professional contact details include the email address tamas.abel@btk.elte.hu and office room IV. 419 at 1088 Budapest, Múzeum körút 4/A.
His primary research interests center on Classical Philology and Latin Literature, with specialized focus on intertextuality, poetic techniques (including acrostics and telestichs), and the reception of classical texts across historical periods. He conducts extensive analysis of Roman poets such as Catullus, Vergil, Lucan, and Lucretius, examining structural elements and hidden signatures within their works. His scholarship extends into Comparative Literature and Cultural Studies, particularly through Hungarian literary history and theoretical frameworks examining media and cultural phenomena.
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2018-2025) reveals consistent engagement with Latin poetry through structural and intertextual lenses. Key trends include investigations of acrostics in Lucan and Catullus, Vergilian hidden signatures, Lucretian poetic forms, and reception studies of classical works in Hungarian intellectual history. His output bridges philological precision with cultural theory, demonstrated by publications spanning Roman epic poetry to analyses of Marshall McLuhan's media theory, reflecting a distinctive multidisciplinary approach to classical reception and cultural critique.
