An execllent introduction and an accurate...translation. --Jim Williams, SUNY at Genesco
This translation deserves the highest praise. It is idiomatic whenever possible, clear and effective throughout; I am more impressed with it than with three others that I have sampled. The introduction is informative and balanced in judgment. --Philip F. O'Mara, Bridgewater College
This is a good edition. The translation flows, the introduction is thorough. --Richard Mason, George Mason University
[A] fresh, funny, evocative translation that captures Apuleius at his most uncanny. --W. Gardern Campbell, Mary washington College
Walsh's new rendering--which on every page, improves upon the commonly used and dated translations of Jack Lindsay and Robert Graves--appears at a time when this ever popular novel is even more greatly appreciated by social historians for the window it provides on provincial life among real
imperial subjects in the second century CE. This edition is enhanced by an excellent introduction, a select bibliography, explanatory notes, and an index and glossary of names....It should quickly become the obvious choice for Latin-less readers. --Religious Studies Review6R
This translation is literal enough to come to a scholar's aid, and at the same time scholarly enough to use without embarrassment. --Bryn Mawr Classical Review
P.G. Walsh has given us an excellent translation, contemporary without being too trendy, as well as a superb introduction that gives the historical, philosophical, and religious background of the work....Oxford's World's Classics has done it again, has produced a useful edition and superior
translation of a work that has neededit for several generations. --CAES Newsletter
Splendid volume, living up to the scholarly accuracy that makes the World's Classics series. --Professor John R. Lenz, Drew University
OUP's decision to commission a new translation of Apuleius' novel by a scholar who has made a significant contribution to Apuleian studies is a welcome move. This is without doubt the translation I would prescribe for students studying the work in English. --Bryn Mawr Classical Review
The best scholarly introduction and notes among the currently available paperback editions and a very high standard of accuracy in representing the Latin original. --Professor Robert Lamberton, Washington University
