Rezensionen
?Classics has a particular stake in critical thought thataddresses the problem of our (as classicists and readers)historical alienation from the texts we read.? (Classics JournalOnline, September 2009)

"In this thought-provoking and pioneering volume, the editorshave put together a diverse collection of essays, which amplyreflect the range of work currently carried out under the umbrellaof classical reception studies. There is refreshingly no'orthodoxy': instead, we are offered a stimulating series ofquestions, problems and possible solutions, which will help toprovide much needed theoretical rigour to this emergent branch ofclassical scholarship."
Fiona Macintosh, University of Oxford

"A first-rate collection, with some of the most exciting andmost rigorous of modern studies in classical reception."
Mary Beard, University of Cambridge

"[A] landmark collection ... The volume as a whole offersreaders an enriched theoretical understanding of reception and itsuses."
Fabula

"This body of work is not just a coordinated foray into someoneelse's territory; students of classical reception are writing acollective autobiography and developing a new charter for ourdiscipline."
Bryn Mawr Classical Review
