- Double-weighted statement
- This is a very substantial book (160,000 words) by a major press, the product of ten years of research.. It is highly ambitious in bringing ideas and methods from literary theory and philosophy to bear on a very wide range of texts rarely studied in juxtaposition, and in putting those texts in conceptual dialogue with contemporary art and fiction. The book is impactful for the detailed way it explains how engagement with Latin literature can stimulate a re-conceptualisation of the role of classical philology in the humanities at large. It won an Honorable Mention in the 2016 PROSE Awards.
