"Provides clear and succinct introductions to several aspects of the social and intellectual life of Late Antiquity. It is, moreover, a commendable illustration of how these insights can be applied to specific texts."
"Will prove valuable not only to scholars of Gregory or ancient epistolography, but all those interested in the interdependent constructions of rhetoric, philosophy, and the self in late antiquity."
"Self-Portrait in Three Colors adds nuance and depth to our understanding of the life and times of Gregory of Nazianzus."
"Indispensable."
