“In this book Wesley Trimpi has succeeded in transforming our knowledge of the theory of narrative in the Classical world by presenting a tightly argued and extremely learned analysis of ancient poetic theory. It is a major contribution to our understanding of ancient narrative and its theory with important contributions to the history of the subject in the West. By indirection the book is a serious critique of contemporary literary approaches to narrative. It is a major achievement.”
