Reviews

". . . the book's strength lies in the close reading of several largely neglected poems, such as Petrarch, Vida, and Ross, and in its interesting insights on how different poets exploit the Virgilian tradition in an allegorical re-weaving of the Aeneid."
---Bryn Mawr Classical Review--Antony Augoustakis "Bryn Mawr Classical Review" (5/4/2006 12:00:00 AM)

"...there is much of value in this book. It is good to see some neglected texts examined, not least the Africa and the two Christiads; the latter in particular are given convincing readings. The book makes us look again at some of the underlying continuities in the genre, and demonstrates the importance of spiritual concerns in many of its central texts. For this we should be grateful."
---Matthew Treherne, Modern Language Review--Matthew Treherne, University of Leeds "Modern Language Review" (10/1/2006 12:00:00 AM)

"I can attest that this is a learned, intelligent book, one that blends boldness of vision with the hard textual and bibliographic work on which enduring scholarship rests...In short, this is one of those rare books that really does rewrite literary history, recovering an Augustinian strain that will, I think, become a standard part of the way in which we view the epic tradition between Petrarch and Milton."
---Renaissance Quarterly--Craig Kallendorf, Texas A&M University "Renaissance Quarterly"
