Meditations2011
The scholar’s modern choice. Robin Hard’s Oxford World’s Classics version is more literal and complete than Hays, in clear contemporary English but without the aggressive compression, and Christopher Gill’s introduction and notes are outstanding. It is the one to read if you want to be sure you are getting all of Marcus, in order, with the philosophy explained. Less quotable and less punchy than Hays, more trustworthy as a full text.
