Reviews
'The text takes up roughly 30 pages; the commentary takes up 260 pages - over eight pages for each page of text. It is hardly necessary to say that K. has covered, often at length, every point, whether textual, grammatical, syntactical, prosodic, or historical that the student could seek guidance on... It is hard to imagine any need for another commentary on Pro Milone for many years.' Colin Leach, Classics for All
'The book will also appeal to an audience with diverse scholarly interests due to its inclusion and excellent treatment of a variety of topics from historical context to rhetorical theory ...' Georgina Longley, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
