Written to celebrate the 100th birthday of Sir Kenneth Dover, this volume unites the two major elements in his life: the relatively private groundbreaking scholarly work he did on aspects of Greek language and history and the more public-facing roles he assumed in universities and at the British Academy that led to him being in the national spotlight later in his career. The contributors to this volume consider all the major facets of Dover's life and work, setting them in the context of the burgeoning field of the history of scholarship. Contributors include students and colleagues of Dover's at different stages of his career, while others are themselves leading experts in areas of Classics to which Dover devoted his energies. Chapters on his academic works and the controversies he faced in public life are not bland celebrations of his legacy but critique and assess his life and work, ensuring that there is much to be learned not just about Dover but also about the fields he helped to shape.
