Robert W. Wallace is Professor of Classics at Northwestern University. A graduate of Columbia, Oxford, and Harvard, he has written or edited seven books and some 85 articles in the fields of Greek history, literature, law, music theory, and coinage. He has been a visiting professor at the Universities of Siena, Pisa, Urbino, Trento, Halle, and the American School of Classical Studies, Athens. He has lectured widely in Europe and North America.

Wallace's Reconstructing Damon serves as an excellent incitement to re-investigate the intellectual and political milieu of mid-fifth-century Athens, as well as to basic (and timely)questions about expertise and political manipulation.
