Reviews and Awards
"Ancient Greek Scholarship comprises both a finding aid (a through survey of the material, with explanations of the sources and their transmission, and guidance on editions and secondary literature) and a tutorial (an introduction to scholarly Greek, with an anthology of texts and a glossary of technical usages). Every research student should have this invaluable resource thrust upon them" - Malcolm Heath, Greece and Rome
"A practical, down-to-earth approach to problems is the hallmark of Dickey's style, and a genuine love for Classics and its students permeates every page of this book. After reading it, I both feel more knowledgeable about ancient scholarship and glad that such an intricate subject could be presented in such an interesting way. The book is not just an indespensible tool: it is, above all, a great pleasure to read. I warmly recommend it to both students and experts." - Olga Tribulato, Journal of Hellenic Studies

Hyman, Historiographica Linguistica 35:3
