- Double-weighted statement
- The ambitious scope of this book required a comprehensive review of surviving literature from Republican and early Imperial Rome alongside the poetry and interpretative prose of Late Antiquity. In order to support the argument of historical changes in the role of the reader, the book’s complex argument wove together evidence from text, paratext, intertext, and commentaries. Furthermore, the literary-critical and theoretical questions at stake required extensive engagement with the relevant scholarly literature in all of the major European languages. It took the equivalent of 3 years of full-time work to complete the gathering and analysis of textual evidence.
