The Oxford Handbook of Demosthenes

As a speechwriter, orator, and politician, Demosthenes captured, embodied, and shaped his time. This Handbook explores the many facets of his life, work, and time, giving particular weight to his social and historical context and thereby illustrating the interplay and mutual influence between his rhetoric and the environment from which it emerged.

The first thing to be said about a publication like this is that a comprehensive book on Demosthenes, an indispensable figure in the history of Greek literature and history, should always be well received.
