In Praise of Flattery by Willis Goth Regier

“Regier . . . mines both ancient and modern sources to present a variety of views on flattery, and he treats the topic with good scholarship and good humor. . . . Anyone who doubts that flattery can be the subject of serious scholarship needs to read this book. Anyone who wants to read something both erudite and entertaining should do so as well. . . . Highly recommended.”—CHOICE
