      abstract = {Sklenar (classical studies, Tulane U.) partly adopts the  currently orthodox view of Roman poet Lucan (39-65), but  also presents views that he says are a bit heretical  because more traditional. The fundamental weaknesses in  both recent and earlier studies, he declares, are the  neglect of close reading, the assumption that Lucan can  only describe chaos by being chaotic, and considerable  slackness in the definition of the term nihilistic by  people who attribute it to him. The study is revised from  his 1996 dissertation. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc.,  Portland, OR (booknews.com).},
