This review is from: Slavery and the Roman Literary Imagination (Roman Literature and its Contexts) (Paperback)
While Fitzgerald's analysis is certainly intriguing, he really needs to use more ancient sources to back up what he is saying in this book. He primarily uses dramas, epitaphs, and poems but he doesn't get the texts for most passages he discusses. I know it is popular to have both the Latin and the translation but frankly it would be better to have only Latin or only a translation if it would allow more examples to be discussed in detail. He raises the interesting question of if and how other literature from other periods might shed light on his topic but doesn't go into detail. The book is very short; it could cover a lot more than it does for the price.
