Review:

"An annotated table of contents, discussion questions, a chronology, and a reading list add to each book's value, but it is the diversity of the source materials that will make books in the series particularly useful."
-- Booklist (April 2000) (Booklist 20000415)

"Introductory biographical information is followed by excerpts from the writings of contemporary and ancient historians and biographers and literary critics."
-- School Library Journal (March 2001) (School Library Journal 20010301)

"Both layout and organization contribute to the book's accessibility. An indispensible resource for those engaged in research or study."
-- School Library Journal (September 2000) (School Library Journal 20000901)

"The mixed focus on the personal life and public issues and controversies is effectively handled here. The use of a person to make a historical period come alive in rich depth is accomplished with real skill and finesse."
-- Kliatt (July 2000) (KLIATT 20000701)

"Essays are expertly selected, and despite being written for adults, are surprisingly accessible for high-school students."
-- Booklist (March 2000) (Booklist 20000301)
