Reviews

An impressive tribute to a path-breaking scholar and inspirational teacher. Taking their bearings from Redfield's own work, the volume's diverse, adventurous contributors uncover new connections between epic and tragedy, poetics and thought, literary form and social practice in ancient Greek culture and beyond. - Sheila Murnaghan, The University of Pennsylvania, USA
