There’s a book review in the Inky on Mary Beard’s, The Roman Triumph<\/a>, published by Harvard University Press. “What makes Beard’s book so fascinating is not only the subject, but her way of approaching it, which allows one to see historiography in process. Her attention to every least detail, placing one fact next to another to see whether this or that confirms or challenges a given interpretation, is like watching a forensic specialist working to solve a crime.” You can borrow Roman Triumph<\/a> from Paley Library. Here are other books<\/a> by classics scholar Mary Beard. You can also hear a Harvard University Press podcast of Mary Beard discussing her new book<\/a>. By the way, these podcasts on new books from HUP are very interesting.
