**Intact Gift Giving Condition book**

By providing profiles of some 600 North American Classicists, this reference book presents a starting point for defining the history of Classical scholarship in Canada and the United States. While European scholarship in the Classics has a long and established tradition, very little has been written on the history of classical scholarship in North America. Included are those Classicists who made significant contributions to the field and those who are representative figures. The people profiled were either born in the United States or Canada, or were born in other countries but had careers in North America.
