Richard Hingley

Opis

An extensively illustrated study of the origins of English and Scottish identity in the reading of classical texts which enabled authors and artists to imagine the character and appearance of their forebears. Richard Hingley relates ideas derived from Roman sources to the development of empire, and places theories of origin in a European context.

Recenzje

Richard Hingley has made a thorough survey of the literature with the intention of moving beyond the tendency of archaeology to rate all studies of ancient past according to how successfully they anticipate modern archaeological opinion. In this he succeeds.
