"While the book does serve as an introduction of some sort, it surpasses this rather modest goal by offering insights into each of the Latin epic poets, their reception among the main Anglo-Latin poets, and biblical old English poetry."- Tristan Major, Qatar University (Speculum vol. 93 no. 4, Oct 2018) "McBrine has done a major service to Anglo-Saxonists by so lucidly marshalling the evidence for the importance of the Latin Biblical epics of Antiquity to any robust understanding of early English literary culture." - Manish Sharma, Concordia University (Journal of English and Germanic Philology)
