Rezensionen

"This monograph offers a fresh and timely look at the classical tradition - and the function of the Classics - in the work of the Irish poets ... . The book's detailed critical exegesis and firm grasp of historical, literary and classical contexts will be of great value to scholars of classical reception and contemporary Irish poetry alike, and I.'s perceptive, often original insights into several of the poems and plays make a meaningful contribution to the field." (Laura McKenzie, The Classical Review, Vol. 69 (1), April, 2019)
