Spencer's work hooks Varro back into the dominant threads of Latin studies over the past couple of decades and in so doing fills in a major gap in our understanding of the intellectual life of the Late Republic. --Erik Gunderson, University of Toronto Spencer takes on De Lingua Latina anew, and rather than mining it for late Republican thoughts on Latin and its etymologies, she views it as a kind of 'guide' to Varro's Roman world, as told through a complex dance with that which the man loved most--his language. --Sarah Culpepper Stroup, University of Washington
