Rezensionen

"This book is a pathbreaking study in the field of Byzantine literature. ... the book is meant to be accessible also to a nonspecialist audience. ... All in all, Goldwyn's volume on Byzantine ecocriticism is a successful attempt to apply an innovative approach to medieval Greek romance and to show how meaningful modern ideologies and theoretical elaborations can be in interpreting premodern texts." (Rachele Ricceri, Speculum, Vol. 94 (4), October, 2019)
