Promotional Details
"The present volume will no doubt help researchers and students in search of new horizons for Alexander’s ‘superlative legacy’ (...) it certainly succeeds in conveying the richness of Alexander’s receptions in world history. (...) Wallace’s result prompts future scholarship to move beyond the basic paradigm of positive and negative receptions, because we now know that much more was at stake in terms of self-presentation whenever people appropriated Alexander. (...) Students and researchers will find points of interest in individual papers, especially Bichler’s chapter on past scholarship, so the volume will be useful for teaching purposes." - Christian Thrue Djurslev, in: BMCR 2019.04.19
"The volume is (...) aimed at a wide audience, consisting of anyone who is interested in Alexander the Great and his later reception (spanning Ancient, Medieval, Early-Modern and (post)Modern History), including university students, academic scholars but perhaps also casual readers. (...) The chapters are mostly inviting, well documented (good bibliographies concluding all chapters), and often challenge our own views. (...) this volume constitutes a worthwhile addition to the still expanding Alexander-bibliography. The index concluding the volume, moreover, adds to its practicality." - Jan P. Stronk, in: CJ-Online 2019.09.07
"Moore's volume is a real attempt to answer the great need for a book which would cover the history of the reception of Alexander the Great. It assembles impressive young and senior scholars, with a wide array of topics. (...) For all Alexander scholars and students, (...) it is a very useful book." Eran Almagor Thersites 10 (2019): 248-258
