Mediterranean Heritage, first published in 1978, offers a
wide-ranging and perceptive discussion of the often concealed links
between English culture and the common heritage of Western Europe:
the Graeco-Roman legacy of the Mediterranean. There seems to have
been no time when England has not been in touch with the
civilisations of Greece and Italy: even Stonehenge, the most
dramatic survivor of our remotest past, has a carved dagger of
Mycenaean pattern among its ornaments. The pioneers of a distinctly
English creative vision - Shakespeare, Sidney, Milton - clearly
looked to Italy. Throughout the eighteenth century 'grand tourists'
found southern Europe irresistible. The Romantics all became
enraptured by the Mediterranean, and passed on their fascination in
some of the most passionate poetry in English. Appearing at a time
which England is more obviously a part of Europe than she has been
for sixteen hundred years, Mediterranean Heritage provides valuable
insights into the origins of our culture's greatest achievements.
