Rezensionen
"With translations that are both true to the intent of the original and entirely accessible to the modern reader, Zeiner-Carmichael has created an engaging survey of Roman epistolography, from the most practical of daily missives to highly refined literature." Jacqueline M. Carlon, University of Massachusetts Boston
"Both accessible and scholarly, Zeiner-Carmichael's new and wide-ranging selection with its lively translations, running bibliographies and perceptive introduction constitutes an essential resource for all teachers and students of Greco-Roman letter-writing." Gill Knight, University of Reading
