Reviews

"""In sum, Allen-Hornblower has produced a perceptive and cogent reading, one that takes on the fundamental problems of meaning produced by these texts.""Kirk Ormand in: Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2016.10.55 ""The book offers much more than deep analyses of communication strategies among characters and between poets and their audiences; A.-H. provides detailed interpretations of stage practices such as the characters' movements and gestures, use of props and asides, and the transmission of sensory impressions, making use of the traditional tools of classical scholarship, from close readings to notes on textual criticism. [...] All in all, however, this is a major contribution to our understanding of epic as well as tragedy.""Pura Nieto Hernández in: Gnomon 91.5 (2019), 385-390"


In sum, Allen-Hornblower has produced a perceptive and cogent reading, one that takes on the fundamental problems of meaning produced by these texts. Kirk Ormand in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2016.10.55
