D. C. Heath, 1995. In light of the nature of this work, a description of its contents, rather than any detailed criticism of its components, and a consideration of the rationale behind their selection and organization, seems the proper way to proceed. All notes are omitted from the abridged modern works. Translations are from Loeb editions, except those of Curtius and Plutarch's Alexander , which are taken from Penguins. Ancient texts are often incorrectly cited.
More minor errors are incorrect page citations in the Table of Contents for pp.
Although it would be unwise to make broad inferences from a work the format of which is dictated to a great degree by the marketing concerns of D. C. Heath, form and content here reflect the development among English-speaking historians of something approaching consensus about Alexander.
