Rezensionen

(Choice, 1 February 2011)
"Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty; general readers."
(Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 9 May 2011)
"...one of Horrocks' greatest achievements is the skill with which he demonstrates the special value of the history of Greek, thinking about the Greek language in terms of breadth and depth that are unusual among linguists working on Greek."

"The only proper history of Greek from the earliest evidence up to the present day, Horrocks's book is a major achievement and fills a large scholarly and pedagogical gap."

Joshua T. Katz, Princeton University

"Horrocks has outdone himself. The 1st edition was as good an overview of the entire history of Greek as there is, yet this 2nd edition improves on that, with added material on all periods of Greek. This important work is well-written, informative, and interesting."

Brian D. Joseph, The Ohio State University
Horrocks offers an exemplary, and unique, survey of the development of the Greek language from its Mycenaean beginnings to the present day, with a particular emphasis on the reasons for Greek's linguistic conservatism. Widely read and much praised in its first edition, this expanded and revised second edition is to be recommended even more highly to all those interested in Greek of any period.
