Plutarch's life spanned the second half of the 1st century AD. He was highly educated in rhetoric and philosophy at Athens but his deep interest in religion led him to Delphi, where he was eventually appointed a priesthood. He travelled, most crucially to Rome, where he lectured and made friends of considerable influence. He wrote and taught throughout his life. Richard J. A. Talbert, the translator and editor, is Professor of History at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Christopher Pelling, the Plutarch series adviser, is Professor of Classics at Oxford University and a fellow of Christ Church.
There is growing interest In early German Romanticism, and no one has done more for this development than Manfred Frank. Unfortunately, most of his work has been untranslated. Elizabeth Millan-Zalbert's translation Is therefore a very welcome and Important event, and everyone with an Interest In the philosophical roots of Romanticism will want to read it.
