Reviews

""[Johnson's] sourcebook stands as an essential resource for anyone engaged with the study of ancient sexuality, gender or social history. It will undoubtedly continue to be a standard text in undergraduate curricula and a valuable reference work for scholars working across disciplinary boundaries."" - The Classical Review
