In general, this is a useful book and a good first port-of-call for those new to the subjects.”  (Religious Studies Review, 1 December 2013)“This dense volume makes a stimulating contribution to the study of imperial Latin satire.”  (Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 1 October 2013)“Graced with a 40-page bibliography, this 600-page work should become indispensable to classical scholars and anyone interested in satire.
