The essays collected in this volume were written to mark the centenary of the birth of Sir Kenneth Dover, one of the twentieth century’s most influential classical scholars.Between them, they explore the two major sides of his career: his groundbreaking scholarship on Greek language, literature and history, and the more public-facing roles he assumed in universities and at the British Academy which brought him into the national spotlight, not without some notoriety, in his later years. The contributors consider the various facets of Dover's life and work from a range of perspectives which reflect the burgeoning field of the history of scholarship.Some contributors were students and colleagues of Dover’s at different stages of his career, while others are themselves leading experts in areas of Classics to which he devoted his energies.Chapters on his academic publications and on the controversies he faced in the public realm are not bland celebrations of his legacy but offer critical assessments of his motivations and achievements, cumulatively demonstrating that there is much to be learned not just about Dover himself but also about the fields he helped to shape.
