'It would be hard to think how this superb collection of essays
about Greek and Roman political thought could be improved. … There
could be no better introduction than this collection of
well-written, scholarly and absorbing essays.' Literary Review
'It is impossible to do justice here to the sweep of this volume …
It belongs on the shelf of every student of politics.' The
Anglo-Hellenic Review
'… is nothing less than the very first general and comprehensive
treatment of its subject in the English language … The broad and
inclusive conception of [the book] is reflected not only in the
range of authors discussed, but also in the heterogeneous
authorship of the volume itself … It is not easy to do justice to a
volume of this kind … There can be no doubt that this
well-organized, accessible and carefully produced volume will
remain one of the standard overviews of Greek and Roman political
thought for years to come.' Arctos
