Celebrated for its own clarity and sublime style, this classic work of literary theory draws on the writings of Demosthenes, Plato, Sappho, Thucydides, Euripides, and Aeschylus, among others, to examine and delineate the essentials of a noble style. The complete translation, from the Greek of A. O. Prickard''s Oxford text, features an introduction by Grube, establishing the historical and critical context of the work, and a biographical index.

Industry Reviews
Grube's translation is a masterful work of scholarship, and is admirably accessible for the common reader.--Jeffrey Walker, Emory University
