GERMANY, R., Mimetic Contagion. Art and Artifice in Terence's Eunuch. Oxford University Press, 2016. 212p. Hardback. Series: Oxford Studies in Ancient Culture & Representation. This impeccably produced book is unpretentiously erudite; as the saying goes, much more than the sum of its (very many, ancient and modern) parts, impressively documented and arranged: literary-philological analysis and performance criticism, art-historical and anthropological inquiry, sociocultural and intellectual history. Germany regularly deploys critical theory pedagogically judiciously, painlessly introducing uninitiated readers to Benjamin, Foucault, Frazer, Gell, and Irigaray, to name some. Ultimately, Germany's sophisticated and dense analysis, masterfully delivered in clear, serene prose is a pleasure to read. All along, the book is very polemical-indeed fundamentally polemical-though about as honestly and pertinently as polemics can be. ... This book, a giant step forward in Terentian scholarship, is in every respect his worthy legacy Goran Vidovic, Bryn Mawr Classical Review |a 08/05/2019 (Publisher's information). € 133.16 (New) (Printed on Demand) (approx. delivery time: 4 weeks) ISBN: 9780198738732
