Reviews

There is no denying . . . that Corbeill has given us much to ponder about Roman linguistic, literary, and religious culture in these packed pages. ---Alison Keith, American Historical Review Winner of a 2016 Charles Goodwin Award of Merit, Society for Classical Studies This book is both enjoyable and thought-provoking. ---Teresa Morgan, Times Literary Supplement


Engaging and deftly written, Corbeill's book should in fact be recommended not only to anyone interested in Latin language and Roman culture, but also to any curious person typing on a gendered keyboard. ---Dorota Dutsch, Gnomon There is no denying . . . that Corbeill has given us much to ponder about Roman linguistic, literary, and religious culture in these packed pages. ---Alison Keith, American Historical Review Winner of a 2016 Charles Goodwin Award of Merit, Society for Classical Studies This book is both enjoyable and thought-provoking. ---Teresa Morgan, Times Literary Supplement
