It can be recommended. * Christopher P. Jones, Sehepunkte * This book constitutes a rich source of information and good judgment on a wide range of Greek and Latin literature, and for such a well-edited and well-printed volume it is relatively inexpensive. It can be recommended. * Christopher P. Jones, Sehepunkte * This volume constitutes an impressive testimony to the breadth, depth, and vivacity of contemporary research in the field ... In sum, I warmly recommend the Oxford Handbook of the Second Sophistic to anyone looking for up-to-date information on a broad range of aspects of imperial literature and culture. * Martin Korenjak, Bryn Mawr Classical Review * One might almost call this valuable volume Forty Three Ways of Thinking about the So-called 'Second Sophistic'. All chapters evidence solid scholarship; some give substantial overviews of designated subject matter, others are more argumentative ... This is a truly valuable and complex volume that gives a detailed overview of the 'state of the question' regarding the Second Sophistic and its penumbra. It certainly expanded my understanding of the movement. * Jean Alvares, Bryn Mawr Classical Review * The volume offers a central-ized resource for scholars of imperial literature and culture with chapters by many of the most respected scholars in the field. Moreover, it succeeds in illustrating that many aspects of the Second Sophistic are apparent and relevant across boundaries of time, space, ethnicity, and culture. * Brandon Jones, New England Classical Journal *
