Reviews

[D]e Jonge's framing and demonstrations of Dionysius' analytic techniques have much to recommend them, since they correct and elucidate many difficult aspects of this under-appreciated theorist. [...] While de Jonge is not alone in recent years in reframing Dionysius this way, his book presents many new ways of understanding individual aspects of Dionysius' literary and especially linguistic theory. It should do much to invigorate and advance study of this rich body of work. Nancy Worman, Barnard College, Columbia University, in BMCR 2012.01.06 (2012) De Jonge has absorbed and analysed a very great deal of often very difficult material, and all students of ancient rhetoric, grammar, and stylistics should be grateful to him; this book will, I am sure, become a standard point of reference. Rhetorical Review, July 2009
