Reviews

"Malamud's elegant translation, with authoritative introduction and notes, succeeds wonderfully in making Rutilius' poem accessible for the first time to the modern reader. The poet's elegiac response to a changing world in the aftermath of the invasion of Gaul and the fall of Rome will now find the readership the fascination of its subject matter deserves." - Professor Michael Roberts, Wesleyan University"We are long overdue for a modern English translation of De reditu suo for classroom use, so this volume is both timely and welcome. The poem is particularly instructive for the light that it sheds on a pagan’s perspective of Rome and its legacy in the early fifth century... Malamud’s modern translation deserves to find a place in college classrooms." - Bryn Mawr Classical Review
