Does exactly what I suspect the authors set out to do: inspire the reader to read, or re-read, the authors discussed. The authors write clearly, but engagingly.
An excellent, very well-written book, enjoyed it very much. An informal, sometimes even personal introduction to infamous classic authors by two scholars.
