'There can be little question that the author has succeeded in illustrating the many ways in which a meta-geographical study such as this one can add to our understanding of how a cultural phenomenon such as classical rhetoric was once able to span the globe … The volume concludes with a list of archives visited, as well as an extensive bibliography of primary and secondary sources that will certainly be of great value to anyone who wishes to pursue this subject further.'
