"Bread and Circuses is a joy to read. Brantlinger is learned, witty, and, best of all, inviting of conversation."--Voice Literary Supplement
"Bread and Circuses is a valuable analysis of attitudes toward not only mass culture but also theories of social order, utopian (and dystopian) possibilities, and the connections between literature and politics."--Criticism
"Brantlinger's substantial insights are worthy of reflection--insights, for example, on the equivocal position of religion vis-a-vis elitism and mass culture or the hitherto insufficiently noted recurrence of classicist nostalgia in essentially nonclassicist ages. The book remains useful and thought-provoking."--American Historical Review
