What They're Saying

Critics Review

An unqualified success … at every point Tanfield puts himself in the shoes of the student reader and has the good teacher’s knack of knowing what to explain and what to leave us to work out for ourselves. His scholarship is impeccable and inspiring. * Classics for All *
