Review title: Review of Penguin's Plutarch
Product review: Seager's introductions are excellent, Warner's translation is uneventful.My really issue here is the way in which Penguin has chosen to present Plutarch: not as a collection of comparable moral lives, but as a historical source. His Penguin editions are grouped by period, not moral pairings. This features two problems: (i) it attempts to emphasize Plutarch's role as a historian and (ii) abolishes his credibility as a moralist. As someone who better appreciates Plutarch's sentimental, moral and anecdotal features, I'm disappointed to find that Penguin is attempting to sell more copies by packaging Plutarch as an historical source.
