CARLON, J., Selected Letters from Pliny the Younger's Epistulae. Commentary by Jacqueline Carlon. Oxford University Press, 2016. 216p. Paperback. Series: Oxford Greek and Latin College Commentaries. Jacqui Carlon's Selected Letters from Pliny the Younger's Epistulae is a welcome addition to the ongoing resurgence in studies on Roman epistolary literature, Pliny especially. Carlon's text is well balanced: the notes are equally attentive to both cultural and grammatical elements. Grammatical and syntactical glosses are meticulously researched and appropriately referenced: Carlon's degree of accuracy in this regard is exceptional. Intermediate students, in particular, will find these explanations clear and helpful. The Introduction is organized and well written, with wide-ranging, accurate, and insightful content. The bibliographic references and suggestions for further reading reflect current scholarship and seminal works that every new Pliny student should read. ' (NOELLE K.

CARLON, Jacqueline M., Pliny's Women. Constructing Virtue and Creating Identity in the Roman World. Cambridge University Press, New York, 2013. IX,270p. Paperback. 'In sum, Carlon fulfils admirably her stated aim of examining how the letters concerning women aid in Pliny's self-representation. Those readers interested in explorations of the historical reality of women's lives in early imperial Rome and patterns of gender relations in elite urban society will, quite rightly, need to look elsewhere. The range of subjects to be covered in this study is signaled clearly in its title. The thirty-three identifiable women in Pliny's letters can only be defined in relation to the correspondent, his cultural frame, and his compositional purpose: they are Pliny's women in a very real sense. We can be grateful that Carlon alerts us so lucidly to Pliny's use of characterization and idealized images, and to the deliberation with which he deploys rhetorical structure, diction, and content, in pursuit of his autobiographical intent.'
