Dionysius of Halicarnasssus
In this volume, the eminent classicist William Rhys Roberts (1858-1929) presents the Three Literary Letters of Dionysus of Halicarassus. Well established in the classical canon, the works of Dionysus are regarded particularly for their value as histories and as works of rhetoric. First published in 1901, this is an edition that encourages speakers of modern English to see Greek sources through the eyes of contemporary Greek critics. The original Greek text is printed with a facing-page English translations, and accompanied by notes, a glossary of rhetorical and grammatical terms, a bibliography, and an introductory essay on Dionysus as a literary critic. It remains an important early edition and translation of Dionysus that will be of interest to classicists and amateur readers of Greek.

Longinus on the Sublime
This is the 1907 second edition of W. Rhys Roberts' Longinus on the Sublime. The volume contains the Greek text edited after the Paris manuscript, an extensive introduction, and a thorough and accessible translation of the main text. Roberts' introduction is divided into two parts: the authorship of the Treatise, and its content and character. Roberts is careful to place On the Sublime in its critical context, challenging both the inscription and description of this classical text. The author is thought to be an unknown teacher, and not the historical Longinus, whilst the 'sublime' in this instance is not 'the sublime' as we would commonly understand it. On the Sublime is a text which dissects the problems of literary criticism and the aesthetics of Greek literature. The lively and intelligent style of the text will ensure that Roberts' edition is enjoyed by Greek scholars and general readers alike.
