EXTRACTS FROM REVIEWS OF DEMETRIUS ON STYLE.

Professor B. L. Gildersleeve in the AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PHILOLOGY.—“It is to me a welcome sign of the times that Mr. Roberts has attracted so much attention and gained so much reputation by his admirable editions of Longinus on the Sublime and of The Three Literary Letters of Dionysius of Halicarnassus, to which he has now added Demetrius on Style.... As for Demetrius, nothing could be more timely than the revival of his admirable manual.... No wonder that one hails with satisfaction the prospect of a new edition of the De Compositione by so competent a hand as Mr. Roberts, if indeed we may construe his suggestion as a promise.”

ATHENÆUM.—“We have to congratulate Professor Roberts on the completion of another preliminary study for his projected work on ‘Ancient Literary Criticism,’ which is a worthy companion to his Longinus and The Three Literary Letters of Dionysius.... These three books are indispensable to the student of Greek literature.... In the translation Professor Roberts seems to have improved on his former versions; this is more easy and effective.”

TIMES.—“Dr. Roberts has introduced to English readers some choice literary morsels. His Longinus on the Sublime, the first of the ancient works on literary criticism which he edited—we might almost say, to our shame, rescued from oblivion—is a most able and inspiring book.... Demetrius on Style is edited equally well. The translation, indeed, is even better; idiomatic and pleasant to read, it is often most happy, and there are very few passages where we should differ in our rendering of the Greek.”

SPECTATOR.—“Dr. Roberts is to be congratulated upon the accomplishment of a worthy task. His edition of the famous treatise known as Demetrius on Style is a credit to our English learning. The editor is not merely a scholar, he is a man of letters as well; and in his notes he has applied the maxims of the ancient Greek to the literature of to-day with the utmost skill. Indeed, though Greek lies at this moment under a cloud of suspicion, we can none the less recommend this work without diffidence or fear, since no English writer can study Dr. Roberts’s translation and notes without purging his own composition of faults innumerable.”

GUARDIAN.—“Dr. Rhys Roberts here gives us a third instalment of his work on the Greek literary critics, and the further he proceeds the greater becomes the benefit that he is conferring on classical scholars. It is much to have made the masterpieces of the later Greek criticism generally accessible, and especially to have rescued Dionysius of Halicarnassus from a neglect and contempt that were wholly undeserved, to have given him new utterance, to have shown that even for moderns his precepts are not obsolete. Nor is the chorus of approval with which Dr. Roberts’s work has been received, both at home and abroad, any louder than is warranted. His own style and taste are above reproach, and his learning is abundant.”

WESTMINSTER REVIEW.—“Dr. W. Rhys Roberts has taken for his province the whole subject of Greek literary criticism. In 1899 appeared his scholarly and exhaustive edition of Longinus on the Sublime, which was followed, two years later, by an admirable edition of The Three Literary Letters of Dionysius of Halicarnassus. He has now laid English scholarship under a further obligation by his even more admirable edition of Demetrius on Style. Each of these three texts is accompanied by a translation at once accurate, terse, lucid, and idiomatic.”

JOURNAL OF EDUCATION.—“We make no doubt that Professor Roberts’s earlier books—Longinus on the Sublime and The Three Literary Letters of Dionysius—are known to those of our readers who are serious students of Greek. We believe they have done a good deal already to restore ancient criticism to the place which it used to hold. The present volume is a worthy companion to the other two.”

Professor R. Y. Tyrrell in HERMATHENA.—“This edition is of wide scope and excellent design. It includes an Essay on Greek Prose Style, a full summary of the treatise itself, and a careful treatment of the difficult questions concerning its date and authorship. The fact that this is the first English text and the first English translation of a very valuable and interesting work gives it an added importance, and opens up what will be a new field for many scholars.... The translation, which is exceedingly vigorous, elegant and ingenious, has one other signal merit: it never ‘hedges’: the translator never hides a doubt about the meaning under ambiguous language; he leaves no uncertainty about the meaning which he attaches to the text; and in the few places where we may venture to take a different view we feel that there is always something to be said for the version which we reject.... Dr. Roberts has a very keen eye and ear for literary beauty; and the treatise affords ample scope for the employment of his wide and various knowledge of modern literature.... The De Elocutione is a treatise full of interesting and suggestive comment; and all lovers of literature owe their best thanks to Professor Roberts for the edition of it which he has put in their hands.”

The volume has also been favourably reviewed by the following Continental scholars: Dr. Ph. Weber (Neue Philologische Rundschau), M. Théodore Reinach (Revue des Études Grecques), Professor Amédée Hauvette (Revue Critique d’histoire et de littérature), Professor Ch. Michel (Revue de l’Instruction publique en Belgique), and Professor Giovanni Setti (La Cultura).
