Reviews

a wide-ranging and enticing collection * Hal Jensen, Summer Books 2017, Times Literary Supplement * Martindale's robust and sophisticated take on the importance of Pater frames the book magnificently, and does exactly what an introduction should; it sets all the following chapters in a brighter framework, and whets the appetite for arguments to come. * Simon Goldhill, Times Literary Supplement *

[an] outstanding collection of essays * Paul Dean, New Criterion * Pater the Classicist should have a significant and much-deserved impact on Pater studies, Classical scholarship and reception studies. Its generous selection of well- researched and discerning essays - none of them 'short of the mark', as Pindar would say - certainly embodies the 'excellence that comes from training'. * Lesley Higgins, The Classical Review * a wide-ranging and enticing collection * Hal Jensen, Summer Books 2017, Times Literary Supplement * Martindale's robust and sophisticated take on the importance of Pater frames the book magnificently, and does exactly what an introduction should; it sets all the following chapters in a brighter framework, and whets the appetite for arguments to come. * Simon Goldhill, Times Literary Supplement *

Charles Martindale is Emeritus Professor of Latin at the University of Bristol, having previously also held the position of Dean of Arts there. He has written widely on reception issues, reception theory, and the relationship between classical and English poetry, especially Shakespeare and Milton and the afterlives of Virgil, Horace, and Ovid. He is the author of Redeeming the Text: Latin Poetry and the Hermeneutics of Reception (CUP, 1993) and Latin Poetry and the Judgement of Taste: An Essay in Aesthetics (OUP, 2005), as well as general editor, with David Hopkins, of the 5-volume Oxford History of Classical Reception in English Literature, four volumes of which have now been published. Stefano Evangelista is Associate Professor of English at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of Trinity College, Oxford. He works on nineteenth-century English and comparative literature with particular interests in the reception of the classics, Aestheticism and Decadence, and the relationship between literary and visual cultures. He is the author of British Aestheticism and Ancient Greece: Hellenism, Reception, Gods in Exile (Palgrave Macmillan, 2009), the editor of The Reception of Oscar Wilde in Europe (Bloomsbury, 2010), and the co-editor with Catherine Maxwell of Algernon Charles Swinburne: Unofficial Laureate (Manchester University Press, 2013). Elizabeth Prettejohn is Professor of History of Art at the University of York. She is best known for her work on the art of Victorian Britain (especially Pre-Raphaelitism and Aestheticism), and on the reception of ancient art in the modern world from Winckelmann to the present day. She has been involved in numerous exhibitions, including Alma-Tadema, D. G. Rossetti, and Waterhouse, and has also been published widely across a variety of subjects. Her most recent book is The Modernity of Ancient Sculpture: Greek Sculpture and Modern Art from Winckelmann to Picasso (I. B. Tauris, 2012).
