Reviews
“The multi-authored Handbook to the Reception of Ovidis far more wide-ranging; and considers the whole field of Ovidian influence on literature; education; the visual arts; and film; from antiquity to the present day.” – Translation and Literature; 1 May 2015
“While readers will also want to consult works by Doody (1985); Oakley-Brown (2006); Hopkins (2010); and Martindale (1988) ― among many others; too numerous to list ― this new Handbook is highly recommended as a scholarly introduction to the reception of Ovid.” – Eighteenth-century Studies and Eighteenth-century Literature; 1 October 2014
