Before and after Socrates
«'Professor Cornford's small book is not only a masterly piece of condensation, nor only a delightful introduction of further reading; it is more, and it claims the attention of every serious student of the subject … full of suggestive ideas and arresting phrases ... refreshing and stimulating'. Journal of Hellenic Studies»
