"As one would expect from the team of Brann, Kalkavage and Salem, their edition of Plato''s Meno is a fine one. The translation meets their stated goal of remaining ''as faithful as possible to the Greek, while using lively, colloquial English.'' Their notes are consistently helpful and will be particularly useful to those readers willing to explore the nuances of Plato''s extraordinary prose. Their introduction is clear and compact, and it highlights the most philosophically important themes of the dialogue. One particularly useful feature of this edition is the manner in which it displays the diagrams Socrates draws in order to illustrate his famous ''square within a square.'' Instead of relegating them to the notes, it integrates them into the text of the dialogue itself. Readers are able to follow along, and ''watch'' Socrates actually construct them." -David Roochnik, Boston University

Vergil: Aeneid 7 is part of a new series of commentaries on the Aeneid. Each volume adapts, with extensive revisions and additions, the commentaries of T. E. Page (1884, 1900) and is edited by a scholar of Roman epic. The present volume offers the Latin text of Book 7 along with maps, extensive notes, and commentary designed to meet the needs of intermediate students of Latin. A two-volume edition of the entire Aeneid designed to meet the needs of advanced students will be derived from the series.

Like previous editions in the New Kittredge Shakespeare series, this edition of The Two Noble Kinsmen takes George Lyman Kittredge''s text as its base, though in this case one that has been extensively edited by Jim Casey in the light of more recent editions. As Kittredge never published a free-standing edition of the play, all annotations and performance notes are Casey''s and have been prepared specifically for this edition. In addition to other standard features of New Kittredge Shakespeare editions -- Topics for Discussion and Further Study, a timeline, and a discussion of reading the play as performance -- it offers a splendid new Introduction by Casey focusing on the themes and recent production history of this recently revived play of Shakespeare and Fletcher''s.
