Lucid writing combined with a persuasive argument and great attention to detail results in a highly accessible book that will be of great interest to scholars of the ancient novel and literary characterisation alike. Elizabeth Dollins, SHARP News


Crafting Characters will become a must-read not only for scholars interested in the Greek novels but also for those working on biography (Plutarch is regularly discussed in the book) and on ancient constructions of the character. * Silvia Montiglio, Hermathena * [I]t offers and engaging close reading of the novelistic characters and a plethora of interesting intratextual and intertextual (especially between the novels) observations ... it is a valuable addition to the scholarly analysis of the Greek novels and will provide an inspirational point of reference for future studies on ancient Greek characterization. * Anna Lefteratou, Exemplaria Classica * Lucid writing combined with a persuasive argument and great attention to detail results in a highly accessible book that will be of great interest to scholars of the ancient novel and literary characterisation alike. * Elizabeth Dollins, Sharp News * Lucid writing combined with a persuasive argument and great attention to detail results in a highly accessible book that will be of great interest to scholars of the ancient novel and literary characterisation alike. * Elizabeth Dollins, SHARP News *
