PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Susanna Morton Braund is Professor of Latin Poetry and its Reception at the University of British Columbia, Canada and holder of a Killam Research Fellowship. She taught previously at Stanford University and Yale University in the USA, and at the Universities of London, Bristol and Exeter in the UK. She has published extensively on Roman satire and epic and has translated Lucan’s Civil War, the Satires of Persius and Juvenal, and Seneca's De Clementia, Agamemnon, Oedipus and Phoenician Women. She is currently working on a major project on the reception of Virgil's poems in later eras as manifested in translation history.
Braund provides a superb overview of pertinent issues related to Latin literature through her unique organization by topic. The second edition includes a new and instructive chapter on the reception of Latin literature, and effectively incorporates recent scholarship on such varied topics as gender, performance and spectacle, slavery, public v. private, and the relationship between literature and society. Braund’s takes on all are well informed, often thought-provoking, openly personal, and delivered in a crisp and clear, always accessible style. - Professor David Christenson, University of Arizona, USA
