"[T]his volume displays Strauss’s provocative originality, his skill in close reading and his nuanced understanding of dramatic context. (...) [A] welcome handbook to an important and frequently misunderstood thinker." - John Bloxham, in: Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2016.11.37
"The recently published Brill’s Companion to Leo Strauss’ Writings on Classical Political Thought is both a very useful and an engaging book. It can provide a fruitful introduction to new readers of Leo Strauss, but it also addresses difficult and substantial problems that arise in Strauss’s interpretations. Hence this volume surely is an indispensable reading for every conscientious student of the thought of Strauss (...) The authors of this important book have offered to every reader of Strauss, and perhaps more importantly to students of Lucretius, Thucydides, Aristophanes, Xenophon, Plato, and Aristotle, a precious gift." - Antoine P. St-Hilaire, in: Interpretation, Volume 43, Issue 3 (Spring 2017)
"This book provides a much needed guide to virtually all of Leo Strauss’s writings on Classical political thought. (...) The chapters are of a very high quality. It is particularly helpful to have a synoptic view of Strauss’s oeuvre on the Classics, which would otherwise require a long immersion in his difficult work." - Rodrigo Chacon, in: The Classical Review (Published online 7 September 2017)
