His books have been a formative influence in western civilisation; they retain a direct appeal to which it is easy to respond. Mestrius Plutarchus (ca. 46- 127) was a Greek historian, biographer, and essayist. Born in the small town of Chaeronea, in the Greek region known as Boeotia, probably during the reign of the Roman Emperor Claudius, Plutarch travelled widely in the Mediterranean world, including twice to Rome. Due to his parents' wealth, after 67, Plutarchus was able to study philosophy, rhetoric, and mathematics at the Academy of Athens. He had a number of influential friends, including Soscius Senecio and Fundanus, both important Senators, to whom some of his later writings were dedicated. He lived most of his life at Chaeronea, and was initiated into the mysteries of the Greek god Apollo. However, his duties as the senior of the two priests of Apollo at the Oracle of Delphi (where he was responsible for interpreting the auguries of the Pythia or priestess/oracle) apparently occupied little of his time - he led an active social and civic life and produced an incredible body of writing, much of which is still extant. ; 183 pages.

Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, n.d.(>1973). VII,183p. Cloth wrps. Signature on half title. Small name stamp on title page. 'After a good introductory first chapter on Plutarch's family and social background, Russell devotes his second chapter to ?Language, style and Form'; as he well observes later, 'ancient writers think of their work primarily in terms of persuasive presentation' and 'the reference to the audience determines almost everything. This second chapter is therefore of the greatest importance for his own presentation of Plutarch, and in it he gives a most laudable account of Plutarch's varieties of style, with quotations from widely differing types of work. (?) In the third chapter ('The Scholar and his Books') we are shown how Plutarch collected his vast range of material and the ways in which he used his sources. The scene is now set for a consideration of Plutarch?s philosophical and religious works (Chapter 4) and 'The Moralist and his Fellow-Men' (Chapter 5), in which the Platonic basis of his views is consistently maintained (?). In dealing with the Lives (?) Russell follows a logical rather than a chronological pattern. (?) Although it could not be more than an introduction ? and as such it could not have been bettered ? it is followed in Chapter 7 by a discussion of the Alcibiades (?) which analyses Plutarch's interpretation of character in more detail. Chapter 8 (?) reminds us that concentration on analysis is apt to distract our attention from Plutarch's considerable powers of description (?). Two concluding chapters provide a more than adequate summary of Plutarch's Nachleben and his influence on western civilization.' (A.J. GOSSAGE in The Classical Review (New Series), 1976, pp.174-75).

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Plutarch's essay 'How to Study Poetry' offers a set of reading practices intended to remove the potential damage that poetry can do to the moral health of young readers. It opens a window on to a world of ancient education and scholarship which can seem rather alien to those brought up in the highly sophisticated world of modern literary theory and criticism. The full Introduction and Commentary, by two of the world's leading scholars in the field, trace the origins and intellectual affiliations of Plutarch's method and fully illustrate the background to each of his examples. As such this book may serve as an introduction to the whole subject of ancient reading practices and literary criticism. The Commentary also pays particular attention to grammar, syntax and style, and sets this essay within the context of Plutarch's thought and writing more generally.
