Reviews

". . . a welcome addition to the scholarly material available on this influential and difficult work. . . . will be of interest to a wide variety of readers, but particularly to students of literary criticism. . . . The extensive notes that accompany the text serve several valuable functions . . . . Recommended for public libraries and academic libraries at all levels." - Choice

"This is really a commentary more than a translation, and the authors wish to provide non-Greek readers with access to the form and structure of Longinus' prose. . . . With the current interest in ancient rhetoric the appearance of this translation is most timely." - Religious Studies Review
