Title: A Totally Delightful Experience
Product review: All of these reviews point up important charms of Highet's undertaking, but I would note that they are more than the sum of their parts. Taken together, this excursion into social and cultural history, ancient and modern geography, sociology, linguistics, poetics, architecture and psychology is what intellection is all about. It is a "wow" and an accessible one for non-specialists. I am a professor of ancient history and will promote this to my students, not to increase their knowledge of history, but to increase their pleasure in history and introduce them to why some of us love and value it for PRESENT understandings and insights.
