Reviews

[Dani Mitchell]

Annotations are super helpful (although annoying sometimes- who doesn't know who Plato is?). Good selection of plays.

[Alex Murphy · Rating 4 out of 5]

The selection in here is extensive and well-thought out. Although there are some (mostly in the second volume) that I would disagree on the choice of play included for the author, the Anthology is an excellent resource.
