    Focusing on the Roman response to Greek poetry from the last three pre-Christian centuries, this book delves into critical readings that reveal the complexity of Hellenistic poetry. It highlights the significance of Callimachus and his contemporaries while examining the unique contributions of Roman poets like Catullus, Virgil, and Horace. The studies explore themes such as poets' perspectives on their work, the symbolism of Dionysus/Bacchus, and the transformation of Greek bucolic into Latin pastoral, offering a richer understanding of these literary figures.

    The Shadow of Callimachus
  • Focusing on the Roman literary imagination, this work examines how ancient texts grappled with the complexities of slavery. It analyzes various literary forms and the perspectives they offer on the institution, highlighting the cultural and ethical implications of slavery in Roman society. Through a close reading of key works, the book reveals how literature served as a medium for both critique and reflection on the human condition within the context of servitude.

    Slavery and the Roman Literary Imagination
  • Examines the role of psychoanalysis within Latin literary studies, focusing on what psychoanalytic theory has to contribute to interpretation. The argument is organized around three key topics - mourning, motherhood, and the origins of sexual difference - and takes the poetry of Catullus, Virgil, and Ovid as its point of reference.
