Reviews

It is in the details of its best chapters that it is most valuable. There is much learning in it. * Richard Jenkyns, The Times Literary Supplement * The clear structure, the brisk essays, and the cutting-edge scholarship of the contributors will make this excellent volume an indispensable companion to both scholars and students of classical reception in the nineteenth century for a long time to come. * Bryn Mawr Classical Review *
