Zusatztext There is no one in the world that I would trust more than Maaike Zimmerman to establish the definitive edition of Apuleius' Metamorphoses, and what she has produced is both solid and exciting. Following through on recent reassessments of the manuscript tradition and hence admitting a larger range of readings into consideration gives a greater flexibility in establishing the text, as does her incorporation of literary interpretation. Every decision she has made is fully informed, wise, and not at all rigid. Reading this new edition is a little like listening to a new recording of a favorite piece of music ... A new recording takes a little time to get used to, but I look forward with joy to getting used to this one.
