Reviews

Tilg has written a perceptive and valuable book ... he has also put forward new and intriguing suggestions about the relationship of Apuleius' novel to its Greek source and brought new texts to bear in the consideration of the book as a philosophical novel. * Ellen Finkelpearl, Hermathena *
