American Journal of Philology

"For well over a hundred years the American Journal of Philology has published some of the best work in classical scholarship. The journal continues to maintain its high standards of excellence as it has evolved to embrace the more diverse approaches to the ancient world that are currently revitalizing the discipline. As a result, it represents the best of both old and new."

"Under the aegis of Barbara Gold, the American Journal of Philology--which has for over a centry exemplified what traditional classical philological scholarship in the U.S. can accomplish-has widened its embrace to include new perspectives and approaches that bring ancient Greek and Roman world and its writings to a wider contemporary readership."

"The American Journal of Philology has entered an imortant phase of its distinguished history under the leadership of Barbara Gold. It has been an honor and a pleasure to edit a special issue on Aristophanes' Thesmophoriazousai under her guidance. The Breif Menttions of contemporary productions of ancient drama are an important aid to scholarship on performance."

-Mary-Kay Gamel

"In the spirit of its innovative founder, Basil Gildersleeve, and with an awareness of topics of critical interest to modern classicists, the American Journal of Philology publishes a wide range of articles on all aspects of antiquity. AJP publishes studies that employ new and contribute to our contemporary understanding of ancient culture."
