In Speech and Thought in Latin War Narratives, Suzanne Adema offers linguistic and narratological tools to analyse and interpret narratorial choices in speech and thought representation in Latin narratives. Her approach combines insights from (cognitive) linguistic and narratological theories and has been tested and adjusted through corpus based research (Caesar, Vergil, Sallust).
The approach is a useful tool to unveil rhetorical uses of speech and thought representation in Latin war narrative by means of close readings of Caesar’s Bellum Gallicum 1 and 7, and Vergil’s Aeneid 11 and 12. Focusing on the attitudes of the narrators towards war, Adema provides new insights into these texts and offers linguistic and narratological contributions to literary and historical discussions about the Bellum Gallicum and the Aeneid.

"...En conclusión, Speech and thought in Latin war narratives constituye un libro bien articulado, basado en un metódicamente aplicado marco teórico y capaz de superar las limitaciones propias de un catálogo cuantitativo. Su principal aporte consiste en la capacidad de sustentar, desde el punto de vista de los estudios lingüísticos y narratológicos, lecturas previas en torno a las obras analizadas. En una proyección más amplia, resulta destacable la posibilidad de extrapolar su enfoque al análisis de otras narrativas similares, invitando a futuros lectores a iniciar un fructífero diálogo.
