A companion to Latin literature

The essays are lively and provocative, making representative use of source material and enticing readers to enter into the debate themselves ... There is little to criticise in this volume ... This 'Companion' titillates the reader into thinking about Latin literature in excitingly new ways."" Scholia Reviews ""An invaluable source of assistance and instruction for students.""
