Benjamin Henry, D.Phil. (2001) in Classics, University of Oxford, is an independent scholar.

"The significance of volumes of collected papers in the Classics covers a broad range: some are indifferent, some are indefensible, some are indispensable. This splendid gathering between two boards of the dense Kleine Schriften of Sir Charles Willink (1929-2009) is very firmly of the last category. The importance of Willink’s researches for scholars of Greek tragedy and/or metre has been immense over recent decades [...] The book with which this formidable volume has most in common is John Jackson’s Marginalia Scaenica (1955), a collection [...] that amply bears witness to what a clear head, hard thought and curiosa felicitas (as much as felix curiositas) in emendation can bring the scholar." - David Butterfield, in: BMCR, 31.5.2012
