Reviews

An intellectual feast. -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) If one has any doubts that the ancient past deserves our attention as much as the future Ferrara also energetically imagines, this book should dispel them. Encountered at the right time, this book could ignite a passion, even change a life. -- Booklist (starred review) Instead of telling a chronological history of writing...her book doubles as a manifesto for collaborative research. -- New York Times Book Review
