Recenzii
'… the book is well-researched, and scholars and students seeking a primer on critical work in memory studies would be well-advised to consult Seider's bibliography, especially the expansive footnotes in the introduction.' Matthew P. Loar, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
'… the strong aspect in Seider's approach is that he writes not so much about memory, but more about the 'thematization' of memory within the narrative. This way, his book enables us to see at a glance the enormous importance of remembering, revisiting, and forgetting in the epic plot and in the actions and emotions of characters and narrators alike.' Alessandro Barchiesi, Histos
'… this book … deploys excellent detailed [analysis] alongside persuasive theoretical ideas, and is beautifully written; we should be most grateful to its author for a thoughtful and challenging treatment of its crucial topic, and for a subtle and balanced interpretation of the poem as a whole.' Stephen Harrison, De Novis Libris Iudicia
'Seider's book is a welcome addition to the recent scholarly work on the Aeneid and makes a convincing case for the importance of analyzing the concept of memory as shaping history and identity in the poem … If the reviewer may appear to have more questions than answers, it is thanks to the rich and stimulating discussions found throughout the book. Seider's work tackles a fruitful line of inquity that will surely stimulate more research on the problem of memory and identity in Roman literature.' Vassiliki Panoussi, New England Classical Journal
