Mary Beard is one of the world's best-known classicists - a
brilliant academic, with a rare gift for communicating with a wide
audience both though her TV presenting and her books. In a series
of sparkling essays, she explores our rich classical heritage -
from Greek drama to Roman jokes, introducing some larger-than-life
characters of classical history, such as Alexander the Great, Nero
and Boudicca. She invites you into the places where Greeks and
Romans lived and died, from the palace at Knossos to Cleopatra's
Alexandria - and reveals the often hidden world of slaves. She
takes a fresh look at both scholarly controversies and popular
interpretations of the ancient world, from The Golden Bough to
Asterix. The fruit of over thirty years in the world of classical
scholarship, Confronting the Classics captures the world of
antiquity and its modern significance with wit, verve and scholarly
expertise.
