Reviews

"“Ovid’s Heroides and the Augustan Principate provides an innovative, new avenue for reading the Heroides, pushing us to see the work as far more subversive than typically thought, as one that deviates from canonical narratives and creates sympathy for the powerless in the face of the powerful.”—Bartolo Natoli, Randolph-Macon College “A seminal work of outstanding scholarship. . . . Exceptionally well written, organized, and presented.”—Midwest Book Review ""Explores new ground. . . . The book is accessible and well written, and the author makes her case well.""—CHOICE Reviews"
