»The first five essays deal with the reception of individual authors, the next eight articles are devoted to the sixteenth (plus one to the seventeenth) century, and the final two entries treat twentieth-century topics. General readers may find the penultimate essay most compelling: "Antike Texte in Studium und Flugblatt." It traces the everyday activities of the Munich classics department in the years leading up to the 1943 execution of the "White Rose" activists to speculate about the ways classical texts and extra-curricular events were used both to support Nazi policies and to inspire resistance.«
