'Goldhill is an alert, subtle and well-informed critic, both of ancient literature and of modern commentary. The routes he takes to his conclusions often raise questions not to be dismissed lightly.' Malcolm Heath, Professor of Greek Language and Literature, University of Leeds 'These essays present a sophisticated picture of poetry's relationship to its culture, arguing that, for example, the praise tradition is not simply one of similarity but also of difference.' Nancy Sorkin Rabinowitz, Professor of Comparative Literature Emerita, Hamilton College
