Recensioner i media

Braund and Osgood's A Companion to Persius and Juvenalis an excellent book. Specialists, non-specialists, and students alike will find in this volume a comprehensive and spacious approach to these challenging poets. (Phoenix, 1 May 2014) The whole book can be recommended, but I will single out a few chapters as especially interesting... 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. Summing Up: Essential. Upper-level undergraduates and above. (Choice, 1 July 2013)
