"Claudia Schindler''s book provides a convincing inquiry about a genre characteristic of late antique literary production, that is the so-called `poetical panegyric''. After a methodical foreword, the author takes into account authors like Claudian, Merobaudes, Sidonius Apollinaris, Priscian, and, finally Corippus. Schindler outlines the salient features of such hybrid a form, by elucidating elements of novelty and motifs that can be linked to epic poems. This results in a powerful poetical effect that combines both the eulogy of contemporary events and the recalling of Rome''s glorious past."

"This is a very rich and generally convincing study of the development of verse panegyric, and of its affinities to epic, indeed its dialogue with it, form the time of Theodosius I to that of Justin II."
Roger P. H. Green in: Gnomon 3/2010
"Schindlers philosophische Einzeluntersuchungen erbringen zugleich wichtige Ergebnisse zur Historisierung der spätantiken Verspanegyrik, die auch dem Althistoriker willkommene Hilfen zur Auswertung dieser Quellen sind."
Ulrich Lambrecht in: Das Historisch-Politische Buch 4/2009
