'Since most of the papers assembled in this book concern Apuleius' Metamorphoses, it will be very useful for those interested in this author: one can find new perspectives and ideas about the Golden Ass throughout the whole work. But it could also attract the attention of those scholars generally interested in the ancient novel: despite differences in approach and quality among the parts, the whole definitely deserves consideration.'

'It is now almost five years since the memorable International Conference on the Ancient Novel (otherwise known as ICAN 2) was held for most of a week in a very hot July in the wilds of New Hampshire, under the auspices of the hostly James Tatum. This conference was one of the most exciting that many of us had attended, not only because it gave us a chance to talk to our footnotes while crossing deep gorges on rotting logs, but because it more or less formally marked the emergence of the study of the Ancient Novel as a legitimate field. This volume represents a sampling of the papers delivered there, twenty-four essays (now expanded and with copious footnotes) of the original ninety papers. The Search for the Ancient Novel is a welcome memento of that wonderful occasion and many of the essays in it will be of interest to a wide variety of readers.'

TESKE, D., Der Roman des Longos als Werk der Kunst. Untersuchungen zum Verhältnis von Physis und Techne in 'Daphnis und Chloe'. Aschendorff, Münster, 1991. (III), 135p. Offset print. Soft cover. Cover a bit stained. Some light, erasable pencil strikes, underlinings and annotations. Series: Orbis Antiquus, Heft 32. 'T.'s development of her line of enquiry is sensible: she has little time for 'established' allegorical readings, or for oppostion rather than complement between town and country. (...) With only minor reservations one welcomes a useful contribution to the debate about the nature of Longus' art and his attitude to it. If his central preoccupations remain transparently simple, they are still fascinatingly elusive to characterize.'
