[T]he book introduces new avenues to explore, and Austen has an engaging voice that blends an inventive point of view with critical acuity... Austen’s work will be useful for scholars and students interested in garden spaces and theoretical approaches to that space. Intermedial approaches can be difficult to tackle, because one must master a large amount of material, and this is apparent at moments in Austen’s case studies, but her book will inspire the reader to view Roman gardens with more curiosity and care. * The Classical Outlook *

[T]he book introduces new avenues to explore, and Austen has an engaging voice that blends an inventive point of view with critical acuity...

Intermedial approaches can be difficult to tackle, because one must master a large amount of material, and this is apparent at moments in Austen’s case studies, but her book will inspire the reader to view Roman gardens with more curiosity and care. * The Classical Outlook * Victoria Austen presents an intriguing analysis of ‘the boundaries of the ancient Roman garden’, in a thought-provoking study in which she brings texts into a productive dialogue with material and visual culture … This is a stimulating book that certainly invites more work along similar lines, showing the rich layers of meaning and perspectives that can be inherent in the interstitial space of the garden and in its boundaries -- Anke Walter, University of Newcastle, UK * Greece and Rome *
