DENNISTON, J.D., Greek Prose Style. Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1965. X,139p. Original red cloth. Spine gilt titled. Small library mark to tail spine. Library labels glued to paste-down endpapers. Decent stamp on title page. 'The publication of a book on this subject by such an eminent authority as the late Dr. Denniston is an event of more than ordinary interest to specialists and non-specialists alike. He died before the work he had planned had been fully completed, and the material which he left has been unobtrusively edited and prepared for the press by Mr. Hugh Lloyd-Jones. The book consists of a chapter on 'The Development of Greek Prose' and six chapters dealing with different features of prose-writing: abstract expression, word-order, sentence-structure, repetition, asyndeton, and assonance. The period covered is limited to the fifith and fourth centuries.' (H.LL. HUDSON-WILLIAMS in the Classical Review (New Series), 1954, p.110). € 18.00 (Antiquarian)
