Recenzii
At its most ambitious, Kachuck's study suggests a way to understand not just the solitude of the poet in Augustan Rome, but the dynamics of individuation beyond public and private assumptions of personhood across time.
The Solitary Sphere will reward a reader who knows Latin well and is willing to keep his or her feet firmly anchored in the texts being discussed so as to avoid being carried away by flights of metaphor. It is a book for advanced scholars and graduate students, but they will find it rewarding, especially if they are engaged in the demanding task of imagining the mental world of the Romans.
Kachuck's argument is thorough, and he provides close readings of passages in which the authors imagine themselves or their characters apart from Roman institutions of public and private life ... This challenging but rewarding book is well argued but primarily of interest to specialists.
The central argument is compelling.... This challenging but rewarding book is well argued.
Aaron Kachuck aims to introduce a new sphere into our discussions of Roman life and literature in the age of Vergil, broadly conceived; in addition to the public and private spheres, he argues, we need to do full justice to a third one - the solitary sphere.
