Reviews
Stenger's book appears to be an essential contribution to the study of education in the Graeco-Roman world: it is not simply a book about schools and didactics, but a book with new ideas and an innovative approach to that constellation of ancient thinkers who looked at the self as well as an individual's relationship with the divine and society as a resource for self improvement. * Anna Motta, Classical Review *
This is a very good book that has proven itself necessary for a balanced view of education in Late Antiquity. * Raffaella Cribiore, New York University, Bryn Mawr Classical Review *
