Recenzii
In seeking to understand this literary figure on her own terms in each of her major appearances, Paule strengthens our understanding of Horace's poetic intent and enriches our appreciation of the complexity of the poet's engagement with witches and demonic figures. Paule's prose style is clear and strives to engage the reader. The combination of clarity and insightful analysis in this monograph makes the positions offered engaging.
The discussions of individual poems are unfailingly rich ... Paule's book provides the perfect complement to ... broad-ranging diachronic surveys, focusing in on one witch, one poetic corpus, and engaging in close reading.
[The book] offers an original insight not only into the literary figure of Canidia, but also into the poems in which she features and their interpretation. [Paule] is, therefore, to be congratulated on this stimulating volume, which is also commendable for the careful signposting and the clear style that make this study accessible to a wide variety of readers, from experienced scholars of Horace to those with little or no prior background knowledge.
Students of Horatian poetry are likely to be Paule's primary audience, but those interested in the poetic potential of characters that might deceptively strike as flat or "stock" will find much of value here, as will those occupied with witch figures in literature more generally. The strengths of Paule's discussion lie in is ability to identify insightful poetic allusions and connections internal and external to Horace's poetry.
The book shows the character's plural and moving character ... [It] is very accessible, including for students. Accessibility is facilitated by clear and summarized remarks at each end of the chapter.
In this excellent in-depth literary study, Maxwell Teitel Paule persuasively shows how Horace uses the malleable demonic figure of Canidia in different roles to serve his own changing poetic needs.
In this fascinating book Paule investigates Canidia as the prototypical witch, a demonic entity provided with an incredible variety of features. Through his insightful analysis he suggests new interpretations for Horace's poetry.
