Pausanias: Travel and Memory in Roman Greece by Susan E. Alcock
Good fun for somebody who, like me, likes to lose himself for awhile in points of criticism and interpretation of ancient or other remote history. For me there's a charm to such books. These essays are generally disfigured by the current (and almost parodic) trendy jargon of academia (if it can be called that anymore), but the interest of the subject saves them. Gave me hours of enjoyment, especially the parts about Pausanias' commentators and those who retraced his steps. I'm not quite sure show more why, but I kept thinking of Norman Cantor's Inventing the Middle Ages. show less
