Abstract

This book is part of a series published by Twayne entitled "Twayne's Masterwork Studies," a series in which each study "offers a lively critical reading of a single classic text." In apparent conformity to the general format of the series, the book includes a four-page chronology of Plato's life and times, a section on literary and historical context, a longer reading of the Republic, notes, a bibliography, and an index.
