«It has been a great pleasure rereading his autobiography nearly 20 years on. Edited by Stephen Halliwell, a colleague of Dover’s at St Andrews, and Christopher Stray, an expert on the history of classical education and scholarship, it makes important and enlightening additions to the original text.»

Classics for All

«Sir Kenneth Dover was both one of the 20th century's most brilliant classicists and a far from merely academic protagonist in at least two major intellectual scandals - about which he laid bare his heart as well as his head. This new edition of his blisteringly controversial memoir, Marginal Comment, is hugely to be welcomed.»
