Reviews

Liveley provides a rich and historically nuanced understanding of some of the key concepts and concerns in the field. ... Summing up: Recommended * J. J. Donahue, CHOICE * Liveley makes accessible a number of complicated theoretical issues and presents narratological terminology in an intelligible way and in a brilliant style, both of which render this study a useful guide both for classicists and narratologists as well as for non-specialized readers. This is the first systematic study of the reception of ancient narrative poetics by narratologists, and its originality as well as the general quality of its insights make it a landmark in its field. * Vasileios Liotsakis, Bryn Mawr Classical Review * This is an important book that will hopefully open up the debate between mainstream narratologists and narratologists whoare experts in earlier historical periods (or in non-Western cultures, for that matter, or in both) in order to help us see more clearly when and why narrative practices emerged,which functions they fulfilled and how these practices may have shaped our modern notionsof narrative, in both practical and theoretical terms * Eva Von Contzen, The Classical Review *
