Rezensionen

"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), Hopkins (2010), Oakley-Brown (2006) and Martindale (1988) -- among many others, too numerous to list -- this new Handbookis highly recommended as a scholarly introduction to the reception of Ovid." (Eighteenth-century Studies and Eighteenth-century Literature, 1 October 2014)
