"We will never know precisely how the Iliad and the Odyssey made their way into writing. And we will always ask. Rediscovering Homer opens up for an intelligent non-specialist reader what is at issue when we ask such questions, and it does so in a clear and attractive manner." Matthew Leigh, The Times Literary Supplement "Rediscovering Homer enables the general reader to understand the art of oral poetics and how and when the Iliad and the Odyssey might have been composed. These are big questions and they are discussed at length." The Times Higher Education Supplement "Andrew Dalby summarises with great clarity the contents and significance of the two great works as they have survived." John Sutherland, Financial Times"
