D. S. Levene is Professor of Classics at New York University.
A detailed, learned and in some respects radical book ... [Levine]
is excellent on challenging our modern expectations of reading and
understanding a text such as Livy's ... and he convincingly shows a
range of literary subtleties that often go unnoticed.
*Mary Beard, Times Literary Supplement*
an intricate, dense, and important book, which not only alters out
understanding of Livy's craft, but also underscores his imporance
in the historiographical canon ... Not every reader will agree with
[Levene's] conclusions, and some might be discomfited, but every
reader will find here something to provoke thought and stimulate
interest.
*Ayelet Haimson Lushkov, Journal of Roman Studies*
A long, dense, challenging, intriguing, and rewarding study of
Livy's third decade.
*Michael P. Fonda, Bryn Mawr Classical Review*
