General IndexReviewsDavis writes inclusively, adopting an easy-going, expansive style * Christopher Whitton, Greece & Rome * While midlevel classes could certainly usefully draw on sections of the text, I would argue that this is really a commentary for advanced students and scholars...Davis's commentary will deeply enrich their encounter with the book. * Darcy A. Krasne, Classical Outlook * Davis has written a first - rate commentary on a fascinating bit of epic narrative, making a valuable contribution to the growing body of work on the Flavian literary scene ... he has produced a piece of scholarship that will inspire still others to read this marvelous poem with the same kind of attention and creativity contained in this book. * Tim Stover, GNOMON * The commentary is said to be primarily literary (dust jacket), but to this reader's delight, is also philological in the sense that it helps the reader parse the text and identify figures of prosody and rhetoric... Davis establishes his text by deftly steering between the Scylla of conservatism and the Charybdis of conjecturalism. * Alexander Andree, Bryn Mawr Classical Review * Davis writes inclusively, adopting an easy-going, expansive style * Christopher Whitton, Greece & Rome * Author InformationP. J. Davis taught Classics at the University of Tasmania for over thirty years. He currently holds honorary posts at the University of Adelaide and the University of Tasmania.
