Reviews

Hutchinson succeeds in throwing a great deal of light on a number of exceedingly opaque texts. An immensely valuable if difficult book; appropriate for advanced graduate students and up. Religious Studies Review A fresh text and detailed commentary on twenty substantial (mostly fragmentary) pieces of archaic and classical lyric poetry. Religious Studies Review Rarely does one find such high standards of textual and literary criticism combined. No one working on any of the poetry included here can afford to neglect Hutchinson's commentary. Bryn Mawr Classical Review Hutchinson's close sensitive readings yield many perceptive suggestions ... all advanced students of archaic lyric will learn much from the abundance of material (linguistic, metrical, and comparative) assembled in Hutchinson's notes and his introductions to the individual poets. Greece & Rome A valuable contribution, not only to the understanding and appreciation of the poetry involved, but also of the poets themselves. Bryn Mawr Classical Review
