Media Reviews
'Classical languages are dead, and therefore useless, runs the standard attack; Classics no longer has any contemporary relevance. An Intelligent Person's Guide to Classics offers a series of well-argued and engaging responses to those accusations...' Mary Beard, Times Literary Supplement 'If this book doesn't encourage a rebirth in interest in the Classics, nothing will.' Contemporary Review
