Recenzii
[a] lively and richly comprehensive account of the way the Wall has been perceived.
This is a rich and fascinating book, essential as much to students of the Wall as to those interested in the history of our enquiry into the past.
This is a magisterial volume ... and the author is to be congratulated on his achievement.
Hingley has been remarkably successful in transforming years of exhaustive research into a pleasurable and informative book that can appeal to a wide ranging audience.
Hingley has written the historiographical account of Hadrian's Wall for this generation and, I suspect, beyond: it is one of the most important books ever to have been written on Hadrian's Wall.
Hingley's book is nothing short of a will to relevance for Roman archaeology, for its living spirit to be resurrected in research that animates past with present. This is a book with a story, a playful joining of analytical and narrative forms that should be emulated. It is a book to be read tucked up in bed after a day of trekking along the Wall, or in preparation or remembrance of a visit.
This is the culmination of a project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, and all interested in Roman Britain and the Roman frontier should be grateful to that body for helping create this thoughtful, challenging and well-written book.
