The latest in the publisher's titles focusing on Flavian epic, this admirable work-an extension of Gervais's doctoral dissertation-incorporates a new, ancillary, idiomatic English prose translation of Statius's famously allusive poetry ... But the piece de resistance and most rewarding component of this book is the extended exegetical commentary ... Offering the first commentary on Thebaid 2 in more than 60 years, Gervais's brilliant undertaking fills an analytical/interpretational lacuna and represents a major contribution to the understanding and reevaluation of an author whose literary reputation has fluctuated greatly in modern times. * J.
