Book Synopsis
Foregrounds underrepresented agents (women, nature and the nonhuman) in and through the poetry of Theocritus

Trade Review
"A brilliant reading of Theocritus that puts his poetry in conversation with new materialism, object-oriented ontology and material ecocriticism. Canevaro hears things in ancient pastoral that haven't been heard before and she voices them wonderfully well. This is a thoughtful, thought-provoking and beautifully written book that everyone working on ancient poetry should read. " -Mark Payne, University of Chicago
