'As propaganda, the book is studiously mild, but it will probably be the more effective. Anybody who has tried to interest students in the critical reading of Latin poetry (as opposed to - hideously familiar phrase - 'doing'it), knows how difficult it can be to get them to trust their judgement, to react in a positive way, to enjoy. These essays, by suggesting approaches and providing topics and starting-points for discussion, should help to elicit a response from a student who is prepared to make an effort and realizes that literary criticism is an active, not a passive, process. It is a book to be grateful for.' (E.J. KENNEY in The Classical Review (New Series), 1963, p.299). € 25.00 (Antiquarian)

BOYLE, A.J., (ed.), Ancient Pastoral. 'Ramus' Essays on Greek and roman Pastoral Poetry. Aureal Publications, Victoria, 1975. 148p. Paperback. (Rare). 'The seven essays (...) three mainly on Theocritus, three on Virgil's 'Eclogues' and one on pastoral in the Neronian period, explore the potential of the genre as a vehicle fro the presentation of 'issues central to man's moral, intellectual and aesthetic experience' (p.3). All prove convincingly that the subject has importance. (...) This book has certain defects - no index, uneven quality, and a certain reptiteveness that comes from giving the contributors their head. But it is full of interest and insight, and clearly shows the tendency of pastoral studies today.' (EDNA JENKINSON in The Classical Review (New Series), 1978, pp.64-66). A.o.: G.
