Books by J.D. Denniston

First published in 1952, this study discusses the development of Greek prose during the fifth century and analyzes its use of abstract forms of expression, word-order, sentence structure, use of repetition, asyndeton and assonance.

This revised edition incorporates additional examples from the original author in conjunction with K.J. Dover's own material. Seeking to cut down on etymological discussion, the book illustrates how particles work and how they nuance Greek language within the corpus of surviving work.
