Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
The vastness of the Horatian literary treasure is difficult for any single volume, but Lowrie manages well ... Lowrie reads the texts closely and often offers challenging, fresh insights ... Lowrie offers a valuable and significant contribution to Horatian studies. Highly recommended. * Timothy S. Johnson, Religious Studies Review * Horatian narrative: an interesting focus. Go straight to Lowrie's account of Ode 3.27 (297-316). It is excellent. I cannot justly summarize this brilliant discussion... an intensely intelligent, ingenious, and original book. * R.O.A.M. Lyne. Journal of Roman Studies LXXXIX 1999. * Her inquiry reflects a thorough acquaintance with the oceanic scholarly literature on the Odes, as well as a familiarity ... with major currents in contemporary literary theory ... Her approach to theory is distinctly eclectic ... the book poses a comprehensive postmodernist challenge to well-established views concerning Horatian lyric. * Gregson David, The Classical Review * a thought-provoking book ... Her willingness to admit aporia and to push her observations to, or even a little beyond, the point where they break down is one of the attractive features of her readings. Seldom have I seen a deconstructionist approach put to such effective use ... Lowrie's postmodernist readings do what sensitive readings like those of Commager or Putnam have always done: enrich our reading by bringing out new possibilities in thetext. * Lee T. Pearcy, Bryn Mawr Classical Review * Read more...
