PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Simon Goldhill is a Professor of Greek at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of King's College, as well as the Foreign Secretary of the British Academy. He is one of the best-known classicists of his generation who has lectured all over the world, and he has appeared on TV and radio from Canada to Australia. His books have been translated into ten languages and have won three international prizes.
'Though the essays can be read and appreciated separately, Goodhill has done an excellent job of choosing the essay topics: readers gain a solid appreciation for the Christian influence on the narratives of late antiquity and their significance for the development of concepts of time. … Highly recommended.' E. Kincanon, Choice '… Goldhill has a huge amount to teach us about the Christianization of literary genres, especially with reference to time in (generally) the fourth and fifth centuries AD … No review of reasonable length can do justice to the richness of Goldhill's project or its importance.' John Rist, Augustiniana
