Editorial Reviews

Review

`Boitani is a medievalist whose erudition transcends the formal categories, as... that of a true medievalist should. His detailed readings of scripture, Shakespearean drama, and modern poetry and fiction are compelling, often brilliant, often so wayward and wire-drawn - but never dull. The Bible and its Rewritings is nourishingly rich in texture, and has been marvelously translated from Italian by Anita Weston.' Paul Dean, The New Criterion, Jan 2000
