Reviews
"Arguments are presented clearly, and the layout is handled deftly. It is a joy to read." John Griffiths Pedley, Bryn Mawr Classical Review, "Arranging his material with far-reaching originality by key preoccupations in Hellenistic art - power, victory, benefaction, prowess, wisdom, piety, desire, luxury, difference and death - Stewart brilliantly contextualizes and analyzes its wealth. He offers a fascinating and reliable study for our times and beyond, wearing his magisterial learning lightly and wittily." Graham Zanker, University of Canterbury, New Zealand
