Jacqui Carlon's Selected Letters from Pliny the Younger's Epistulae is a welcome addition to the ongoing resurgence in studies on Roman epistolary literature, Pliny especially. Carlon's text is well balanced: the notes are equally attentive to both cultural and grammatical elements. Grammatical and syntactical glosses are meticulously researched and appropriately referenced: Carlon's degree of accuracy in this regard is exceptional. Intermediate students, in particular, will find these explanations clear and helpful. The Introduction is organized and well written, with wide-ranging, accurate, and insightful content. The bibliographic references and suggestions for further reading reflect current scholarship and seminal works that every new Pliny student should read. ' (NOELLE K.
