Review "Der Verfasser der vorliegenden Studie, der Archäologie-Professor Eric Moorman, hat es sich nun zur Aufgabe gemacht, in einem außerordentlich materialreichen Buch das gesamte Spektrum der literarischen, künstlerischen und dramatischen Rezeption der antiken Stadt aufzufächern. [...] der Verfasser [stellt] in Form eines Kompendiums so viele künstlerische Rezeptionen der durch den Ausbruch des Vesuvs begrabenen Städte dar, daß man als interessierter Leser den Band über die Jahre immer wieder zur Hand nehmen wird. [...] Eine materialreiche Studie, die sicher für manch einen Archäologen ebenso spannend und aufschlußreich ist wie für Literaturwissenschaftler aller Art sowie Liebhaber historischer Romane (und anderer Literatur), die speziell Pompeji auch und gerade im Medium der Fiktion kennenlernen wollen."Till Kinzel in: Informationsmittel (IFB): digitales Rezensionsorgan für Bibliothek und Wissenschaft [#4334] http: //informationsmittel-fuer-bibliotheken.de/showfile.php?id=9109 Long Description Although there are many works dealing with Pompeii and Herculaneum, none of them try to encompass the entire spectrum of material related to its reception in popular imagination.
