De Grammaticis et Rhetoribus [Hardcover]

Suetonius (b.c.70), was a man of letters writing under the emperors Trajan and Hadrian. This is a new and definitive critical edition of his most important surviving work,On the Study of Grammar and Rhetoric, on Roman education and culture. A unique and exceptionally rich source for our understanding of Roman cultural history, this book provides a complete Latin text, the first ever English translation, and the most extensive social and historical commentary yet produced.

[This book is] particularly welcome...Kaster has a gift for making his subject accessible to non-experts. The range of Kaster's expertise and the originality of many of his conjectures are breathtaking...his edition could scarcely be better. --Times Literary Supplement

Kaster has taken an apparently unrewarding topic...and shown it to be full of riches....This is, quite simply, a marvellous book. --Bryn Mawr Classical Review

It is a rare pleasure to find work showing such a level of sustained excellence... --The Classical Journal
