Outstanding translations by leading contemporary scholars - many commissioned
especially for this volume - are presented here in the first single edition
to include the entire surviving corpus of works attributed to Plato in antiquity.
In his introductory essay, John Cooper explains the presentation of these works,
discusses questions concerning the chronology of their composition, comments on
the dialogue form in which Plato wrote, and offers guidance on approaching the
reading and study of Plato's works. Also included are concise introductions to
each translation, meticulous annotation designed to serve both scholar and
general reader, and a comprehensive index. This handsome volume offers fine
paper and a high-quality Smyth-sewn cloth binding in a sturdy elegant edition.
