Studded with striking observations and suggestive formulations.
Lowell Edmunds has written a book that provides what is expected and appreciated in a theoretical study: the scholarship is extensive and well organized into arguments which are themselves descriptive, provocative, challenging, and supported by a close reading of a variety of selections from Catullus, Horace, Vergil, and Ovid.
For the graduate student and for the consenting Latinist, this is a book which enters a debate with verve and commitment that should provoke yet further discussion.
An original and bold application of theories of intertextuality and readership to Roman poetry. Edmunds solidly engages a vast array of scholarship and criticism, in English, Italian, French, and German.
