Review of Domenico Lovascio, John Fletcher’s Rome: Questioning the Classics (Manchester: Manchester University Press, The Revels Plays Companion Library 2022). Dense with information yet remarkably fluid and engaging to read, in dialogue with a vast and well selected panorama of critical voices yet never in danger of being suffocated by them, Lovascio’s study shines for its originality, clarity, and insight. It fills a genuine gap in the field of study concerned with the reception of classical antiquity in early modern England, and has many merits.

Abstract

Review of Domenico Lovascio, John Fletcher’s Rome: Questioning the Classics (Manchester: Manchester University Press, The Revels Plays Companion Library 2022). Dense with information yet remarkably fluid and engaging to read, in dialogue with a vast and well selected panorama of critical voices yet never in danger of being suffocated by them, Lovascio’s study shines for its originality, clarity, and insight. It fills a genuine gap in the field of study concerned with the reception of classical antiquity in early modern England, and has many merits.
