Theophrastus:Characters is a collection of thirty short
character-sketches of various types of individuals who might be met
in the streets of Athens in the late fourth century BC. It is a
unique work which has had a profound influence on European
literature. This edition aims to make it accessible to students, by
offering a radically improved text and a commentary which brings
out the meaning and nuances of the dazzling but sometimes difficult
Greek and offers full elucidation of the often enigmatic references
to contemporary social practices and historical events. There is
also a full introduction, which discusses the antecedents and
affiliations of the work, its date, its purpose, and its literary
qualities.
