Recenzje

'… excellent book on the reception of Ovid … Fielding is able to present not only Ovid's powerful legacy, but also, and perhaps more importantly, draw needed attention to the great intellectual potential in reassessing the late antique Latin poets.' Stephen M. Kershner, The Classical Journal-Online
