“Prison Narratives from Boethius to Zana, edited by Philip Edward Phillips, defines a new generic lens and literary tradition through which to approach Boethius, and they have the great potential to energize Boethius Studies in an exciting new direction.” (Krista Sue-Lo Twu, Carmina Philosophiae, Vol. 23, 2014)
"Prison Narratives from Boethius to Zana encourages readers to educate themselves about very important and relevant topics. This is a unique and timely contribution to the world of letters and the humanities broadly conceived. The roll call of familiar figures, coupled with some less celebrated case studies, reifies and enriches expectations, thereby providing a viable platform for learning more about key incarcerated figures in the Western tradition, as well as about related social and political movements." - William E. Engel, Nick B. Williams Professor of English, Sewanee: The University of the South, USA
"The eleven stimulating biographical essays in this collection are certain to prompt readers to reflect on how the experience of being locked up by society for crimes of conscience can unlock a rich and distinctive array of written reflections on society's most fundamental values. Along with the excellent scholarly insights that the essays offer, their authors have provided the perfect introduction to help readers go on to explore the original writings of their subjects, who range from the 6th through the early 21st centuries." - Donald H. Whitfield, Vice-President, The Great Books Foundation
