Reviews

West's legacy is here both commemorated and continued-indeed some of the essays read as if they had been written by West himself. The range of discussion is wide, from Lutatius Catulus to Hildebert of Lavardin, and the quality of the analysis is incisive and perceptive. * Bryn Mawr Classical Review *
