Review:
"Professor Mellor offers a lucid introduction to the later influence, no less than to the ideas and methods, of the last great mind of Roman paganism."
-Colin Haycraft, "The London Evening Standard
"This is a distinguished work of scholarship, written with energy of thought and clarity of style. It is worthy of its subject and will surely make some of its readers turn to the original and admire the most profound moral and political philosopher that pagan Rome ever produced'."
-Hugh Trevor-Roper, "The Sunday Telegraph, March 14, 1993
." . . all will be glad to be obliged by this biography to concern themselves with Tacitus the man."
-Enoch Powell, "The Guardian
"Going beneath the surface of the dramatic stories told in the "Annals and "Histories, [Mellor] examines issues of historical reliability, psychological motivation, and above all, Tacitus' repute as a gloomy moralist."
-Gilbert Taylor, "ABA Booklist, November 1992
"[Mellor] has set out to write a book about Tacitus for the non-specialist reader to convey why Tacitus's histories exercised a powerful fascination over centuries of dramatists, philosophers and even politicians'."
-"Bryn Mawr Classical Review
