Rumour and Renown. Representations of Fama in Western Literature. - HARDIE, P.,
Representations of Fama in Western Literature
KORTE INHOUD
'The book under review is another magnum opus, a magisterial work of learning that aims to offer a comprehensive picture of the ever-changing Fama, the personified Rumor, from its Greek origins through Virgil, Ovid, and beyond, in authors like Petrarch, Chaucer, Milton, and Pope. Without exaggeration, this is a must-read book, and what I hope to offer here is but a glimpse of its rich, stimulating, and highly rewarding contents. (...) Beyond doubt, this volume is the result of many years of research; the production is handsome and flawless. It has already taken a special place on my bookshelf, and as I am sure, on the shelves of many readers and students of Latin literature and its reception.' (ANTONY AUGOUSTAKIS in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2013.02.13).
