Reviews
"A rich, diverse, and inclusive menu of challengingly conceptualized chapters." -- Paul Cartledge, University of Cambridge, "A godsend that will orient, inform, demystify, and tantalize." -- Richard Talbert, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, This much-needed guidebook is clearly a godsend that will orient, inform, demystify and tantalize. It should inspire its readers too., A rich, diverse and inclusive menu of challengingly conceptualised chapters is delivered by a glittering array of contributors from both sides of the Atlantic.
