Reviews
'... the work is a masterpiece of comparative literature in the best sense of that term. It is innovative, well researched, and clearly written, and it deepens and enriches our understanding of 'Rome' as a place, idea, and transcendent category of selfhood in medieval and early modern 'Britain.'' Aaron Kitch, Modern Philology
'Wallace's book ... is a solid tribute to the presence of Rome, classical and Christian, in our civilization.' Winthrop Wetherbee, Speculum: A Journal of Medieval Studies
