Zusammenfassung

"As this overview highlights, the reviewed volume does not only correspond to its overarching themes of intertextuality, narratology and exemplarity but also contains small groups of interrelated chapters, often in dialogue with one another, which readers might wish to dip into in accordance with their individual needs. Those interested in the poetics of space will want to read Ahl, Behm and Poletti along with Hömke, while those with an interest in exemplarity and heroism will benefit from comparing the contributions of Finkmann, Franchet d'Espèrey, Walter, Hömke, Keulen and Huber-Rebenich. Those keen on rhetoric will enjoy Primavesi and Erler, while others will savour the wealth of papers about Ovid. Whatever route each reader might take, the editors' admirable labor ensures that their journey will be both pleasant and learned. They certainly have done Reitz proud."

"The large number of contributions and the wide scope of the volume might elicit scepticism. However, the editors have managed a rare feat: there are no disappointments, and even though some chapters might attract a more limited readership, every contribution is incisively written and forms part of a cohesive whole. ... This Festschrift is not only a credit to its editors and contributors, but also a gift to our discipline and an apt tribute to its illustrious dedicatee."
