**NOW A HIT STAGE PRODUCTION** Take a journey around the
archaeological and cultural remains of Roman Britain with the
award-winning author of Greek Myths. This is a book about the
encounter with Roman Britain: about what the idea of 'Roman
Britain' has meant to those who came after Britain's 400-year stint
as province of Rome - from the medieval mythographer-historian
Geoffrey of Monmouth to Edward Elgar and W.H. Auden. What does
Roman Britain mean to us now? How were its physical remains
rediscovered and made sense of? How has it been reimagined, in
story and song and verse? Charlotte Higgins has traced these tales
by setting out to discover the remains of Roman Britain for
herself, sometimes on foot, sometimes in a splendid, though not
particularly reliable, VW camper van. Via accounts of some of
Britain's most intriguing, and often unjustly overlooked ancient
monuments, Under Another Sky invites us to see the British
landscape, and British history, in an entirely fresh way: as
indelibly marked by how the Romans first imagined, and wrote, these
strange and exotic islands, perched on the edge of the known world,
into existence. 'Mesmerising... Sophisticated and passionate'
Guardian '[A] lyrical, haunting look at Roman Britain and its echo
in our culture' Sunday Times
