FINGLASS, P.J., C. COLLARD, and N.J. RICHARDSON, (eds.), Hesperos. Studies in Ancient Greek Poetry Presented to M.L. West on his Seventieth Birthday. Oxford University Press, Oxford (...), 2007. 406p. Cloth. Wrps gone. Cover a little bit stained.'Readers of BMCR will need no introduction to M. L. West, whose publications (so says the jacket of the book under review) 'over nearly half a century ... have transformed our understanding of Greek poetry.' Here are 24 essays, mostly on Greek poetry, written to celebrate his 70th birthday. The book also reprints 'Forward into the Past', West's Balzan Prize acceptance speech (2000), and includes a complete bibliography of his academic publications - a staggering 497 items so far. Ranging across several of the fields in which West has exercised his enormous influence, the volume makes no attempt at unity of theme or purpose. Its value lies in the high quality of most of the individual contributions.' (JOHN GIBERT in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2008.06.23). From the library of the late Sir Kenneth James Dover. € 65.00 (Antiquarian) ISBN: 9780199285686
