Albrecht Dihle, Manfred Malzahn
`This is a monumental work of massive erudition to which a short
review can do but scant justice and merely hint at some of the
treaures to be found within. - JACT Review
`With this volume, Routledge continue their highly laudable series
of English translations of important works of recent classical
scholarship. ... The task is certainly monumental, but D succeeds
well in presenting clear, helpful synopses of bewildering range of
literature, which often more traditionl classicsts tend to forget.'
- Classic Reveiw
`Dihle expresses the hope that his book will "not ... serve as a
work of reference", but as he covers both pagan and Christian
texts, offers a clear, introductory account of the transition from
pre-imperial to imperial literature and gives ample space to
popular, technical and philosophical works - many unfamiliar even
to students of these periods - it is unlikely that this wish will
be fulfilled ... If Dihle is not careful, he will give literary
history a good name again ... This is a remarkable achievement; we
will not see its like again.' - Times Literary Supplement
