reviewed From Gibbon to Auden: Essays on the Classical Tradition on June 29, 2017
From Gibbon to Auden
Bowersock has a lovely width of mind and a facility across fields, such that if you're a fan of Cavafy's historical poems, set in Late Antiquity and the Byzantine world, you won't want to miss this historian's appreciation of them: he documents how scrupulous in scholarship Cavafy was, and understands them as poetry too. The other highlight for me was 'Gibbon's Historical Imagination', recommended for admirers of the Decline and Fall.
