"[T]his most welcome volume presents the Psychomachia of Prudentius... With great panache, Mastrangelo (Dickinson College) maintains the coloration and tone of the original Latin hexameters and admirably succeeds in graphically conveying the grisly atmospheric elements of the successive battles of the Virtues against the Vices. The translation is truly accessible to 21st-century readers... In addition, the book's excellent introduction and copious explanatory notes for each section of the poem effectively contextualize the allegory within its religious and cultural milieu and provide essential interpretive, philological, and historical instruction. Summing Up: Highly recommended." - CHOICE
"In general, Mastrangelo's new translation is most welcome... it makes Prudentius' most important and in-fluential work available on a new, modern footing, especially to students with little or no Latin. This is particularly important given the centrality of the Psychomachia to so much of later medieval literature: it is required reading for all scholars of medieval English, for instance, and it is a relief to be able to recommend a single well-annotated translation to a non-Latinist... I am full of admiration for Mastrangelo's work. His translation has done what all good translations ought to: it has made me rethink and revisit anew a text I thought I knew very well... This is the text I will be assigning when I teach the Psychomachia in translation from now on." - PLEKOS
