"A valuable literary study that synthesizes a large, diffuse body
of scholarship, integrating it in an intelligent argument about the
literary milieu in which the Historia Augusta emerged. The Historia
Augusta has long needed a study like this one."--Adam Kemezis,
University of Alberta
"This lively and original analysis of the Historia Augusta
successfully argues that it was a fictional work to entertain a
fifth-century audience, and the pleasure resides in the deliberate
anachronisms, allusions, and parodies of both ancient and more
contemporary authors and genres."--Ellen O'Gorman, University of
Bristol
