Reviews
Tombs of the Ancient Poets is a balanced and exceptionally accomplished publication, which will serve not only researchers dealing with antiquity but also those interested in the broader topics of "cultural saints" and the literary tradition and its spatiality. * Tomasz Mojsik, Bryn Mawr Classical Review *
This is a delight for both the specialist and the general reader. * Cora Beth Knowles, Classics for All *
