Editorial Reviews
Review
John Murley admirably continues the mission he took on more than a decade ago—cataloguing the work and impact of Leo Strauss. Leo Strauss and His Legacy draws attention away from the rants and fantasies of Anne Norton and Shadia Drury and returns it to Strauss's genuine scholarly legacy and intention. (Claremont Review Of Books )

This review is from: Leo Strauss and His Legacy: A Bibliography (Paperback)
John Murley's gigantic (935 pages!) is a comprehensive bibliography of the writings of Leo Strauss, as well as of the literature, both American and European, that had accrued on Strauss as of 2005. The book is nearly perfect, providing a clear, easily readable list of materials. Those already interested in and knowledgeable concerning Strauss will be impressed by Murley's care and comprehensiveness. The book should easily become the standard such reference on Strauss and the scholarship he and his work have engendered. Its size means it will not sit readily on some bookshelves, and it would make an excellent doorstop. However, it's intended purpose is a noble one, and all who are interested in Strauss should welcome it, recommending to libraries that it be purchased as a reference.
