Figuring Out Roman Nobility: Juvenal's Eighth Satire (Exeter Studies in History)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
' . . . its verve, along with H.'s impressive scholarship, sets this work apart from the drear, scripted prose endemic to culture criticism. H. writes with committed energy rather than dogmatism, with an eye to the words on the page as well as the ideologies subtending them. These are two brilliant, tough and valuable books.' - The Classical Review, XLIX, 1, 1999
