Reviews

'It is always a pleasure to read Wiseman: the style, the intellect, the ingenuity ... And, although here the reader must take care not to become bedazzled, there is always authentic, welcome erudition. All of which is to say that I enjoyed this book.' W. Jeffrey Tatum, Gnomon


'It is always a pleasure to read Wiseman: the style, the intellect, the ingenuity … And, although here the reader must take care not to become bedazzled, there is always authentic, welcome erudition. All of which is to say that I enjoyed this book.' W. Jeffrey Tatum, Gnomon 'In light of the wealth of stimuli and suggestions that the volume offers, of the interest of the issues addressed and the breadth of sources and data used, certainly this work will continue to fuel the dialogue between historical criticism and literary criticism on Catullus.' Filomena Bernardo, Exemplaria Classica
