Sommario/riassunto |
|
A 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. |
