Review


"General readers as well as students at all levels will benefit from the text, faculty from the notes and appendixes."--Choice


"Recent years have seen the publication of a series of significant works dealing with fourth century topics. Demosthenes and His Time is a welcome addition to this growing list....A more realistic picture of the strengths and weaknesses of Demosthenes as a politician than we have had before, but also perceptive analyses of many of his contemporaries....Every teacher of Greek history will profit."--The Classical Outlook


"This is the first major study on the life and times of Demosthenes in over fifty years.... Our guide in this book has remarkable mastery over the subject and can offer many worthwhile insights....For superb formulations...and for its overall excellence, it is indeed difficult not to like this book."--New England Classical Newsletter and Journal


"In this first comprehensive study of the career of Demosthenes in over half a century, Sealey provides an indispensable guide to Athenian politics in the fourth century....This will be the standard work in the future for all serious students of Greek political history in the fourth century."--Religious Studies Review


"There is much to be pondered upon in the book and peppered throughout it are new and provocative ideas."--The Classical Review


"...Sealey's discussions of such topics as the idea of 'government', the interpretation of politics as driven by personal dynamics as opposed to ideology, and the problems of interpreting the Attic orators will enrich the work of students and scholars alike."--Ancient History Bulletin
