Frederick Brenk has devoted a scholarly lifetime to explicating the complexities of Plutarch’s thought. Plutarch has been his intellectual interlocutor for over fifty years: in this time Brenk has produced a stream of brilliantly lucid, provocative and wise studies.
The present book includes sixteen studies by Professor Frederick E. Brenk on Plutarch on Literature, Graeco-Roman Religion, Jews and Christians. Of them, thirteen were published earlier in different venues and three appear here for the first time. Written between 2009 and 2022, these studies not only provide an excellent example of Professor Brenk's incisiveness and deep knowledge of Plutarch; they also provide an excellent overview of Plutarchan studies of the last years on a variety of themes. Indeed, one of the most salient characteristics of Brenk's scholarship is his constant interaction and conversation with the most recent scholarly literature.
