Recenzii
A must for the library of any scholar with an interest in Alexander and the society from which he came.
Anson focuses on the major issues that have been raised in recent decades around the figure of Alexander the Great and confronts all of these subjects with that scientific precision that has always characterized him.
Anson proves that it is still possible to write an original book about so seemingly hackneyed a topic as Alexander the Great. As his book's subtitle, Themes and Issues, indicates, this is not a biography, but an analysis of Alexander's reign through discussion of the principal topics in contemporary Alexander scholarship . . . The treatment is detailed with comprehensive citations of sources and relevant scholarship . . . An accessible guide to the state of Alexander studies that belongs in every college and university library.
This is a serious scholarly work, extensively researched and well written . an essential read.
