MANASSA, C., Imagining the Past. Historical Fiction in New Kingdom Egypt. Oxford University Press, 2014. 368p. Hardback. Just when we think everything has been written about a particular topic, along comes a book with a strikingly fresh approach that helps us look at the topic anew. Such is Imagining the Past, which examines four well known so-called Late Egyptian Stories. Through a judicious combination of philological, literary, historical, religious, and archaeological analyses, the author explores ancient Egyptian story-telling and its use in propagandizing Pharaoh's might. Erudite, exhaustive, as well as accessible, the book is a major contribution that is sure to have a wide readership for many years. Ronald J. Leprohon, University of Toronto (Publisher's information). € 131.80 (New) (MD)

LOMBARDI, E., Imagining the Woman Reader in the Age of Dante. Oxford University Press, 2018. 290p. Hardback. There is much more in this very well-thought-out book, and Lombardi does try to encompass the various and multifaced themes of women reading, from different perspectives. The result is a text that is rich in all of its parts, that does not limit the study to one single tradition but tries to tie the connections between what was a shared cultural space. Imagining the Woman Reader is therefore an ally for all those scholars and enthusiasts interested in the complexity of a dense yet necessary discourse on entangled genders.
