Insgesamt bietet der Band sorgfaltige Analysen ausgewahlter Fallbeispiele zum Thema 'Rhetorik' und 'Rhetorisierung' in der spatantiken griechischen und lateinischen Literatur. Die gesteckten Ziele, namlich die klassische im Spannungsfeld zwischen heidnischer und christlicher Kultur zu zeigen und kreative Auseinandersetzungen spatantiker Autoren mit literarischen und visuellen Traditionen beispielhaft herauszuarbeiten, werden erreicht. Eine Lekture des Buches kann daher vorbehaltlos empfohlen werden. - Nicole Kroell, in: Plekos 21 (2019) Rhetorical Strategies in Late Antique Literature is a very inspiring high-quality collection of articles.
