Reviews

'This book is a must-read for anyone wrestling with Plato's relationship with rhetoric (a perennial vexation), anyone intrigued by Lysias's unlikely tenacity (a minor feeling, perhaps), anyone longing for Isocrates to be taken seriously (a periodic desire), or anyone who has decided they can no longer put off reading more about Dionysius of Halicarnassus (an increasingly popular judgment).' Michele Kennerly, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
