  • Description: Despite A.'s caveats – ‘I have set out to collect every case of asyndeton bimembre in the texts consulted, but inevitably some omissions will have been made … but the evidence presented is I hope tolerably complete’ (p. xxv) – the result is a vast collection of cases of asyndeton bimembre from texts spanning a broad time frame and a selection of different genres. Here, A. provides a thorough review of the generalisations and clichés about asyndeton in secondary sources that turn out to be inaccurate or downright false in the light of the data he collects (especially in Chapters 3–5). [...]it provides textual criticism with criteria for refining the texts.
