Reviews

`Whitehead's scholarship is impressive'
Bryn Mawr Classical Review
`Care and detail has gone into the translation and the commentary'
Bryn Mawr Classical Review
`Until now there has been no major commentary in English on the surviving speeches of Hypereides. It is a welcome relief that such a commentary now exists and by such a reputable scholar as David Whitehead'
Bryn Mawr Classical Review
`The book, long overdue, is beautifully produced, immediately useful, and will quickly become authoritative. We must be grateful.'
Religious Studies Review, vol.27, no.3
`impressive knowledge of four-century Athenian history'
Religious Studies Review, vol.27, no.3
`David Whitehead's new commentary on what survives of H's forensic speeches lives up to the promise of the dust-jacket of 'lavish historical and literary commentary'. Legal and political questions attract particular attention, and W's scholarly and thoroughly up-to-date commentary is destined to become a standard work of reference, as well as putting H once and for all on the scholarly map.'
Richard Hunter, The Anglo-Hellenic Review
