"""This [is] an exceptional book, the product of vast reading combined with high scholarship—and . . . readability. It would be an impertinence for the reviewer (whose knowledge of Maecenas has been immeasurably widened by Emily Gowers) merely to recommend it: it deserves to be bought widely throughout the respublica litterarum.""---Colin Leach, Classics for All"
