Statesman (Rowe Edition)
“The original publication of Rowe’s translation in 1995 was a landmark event in the study of this fascinating but enigmatic dialogue. Based on a careful and convincing revised Greek text, the contemporary English of this unpretentious, clear, and—above all—accurate revised version make it by far the best available. In fact, Rowe’s translation is now and will surely remain the only acceptable choice.”
