Brown: The Making Of ∗late Antiquity∗ (cloth): 1976 (Carl Newell Jackson Lectures)

I used it to broaden my understanding of the late antiquity underpinnings of today's society.

Very Fast delivery and the book artived in very good condition. I would recommend this supplier for future book deliveries.

I'm rapidly reading through this book for the first time. Admirers of Brown will not be disappointed, even if it's a touch less polished than the more famous titles. This is natural, as this book is based on a set of lectures. My main concern in buying it was whether it would be redundant with The World of Late Antiquity--it is not; there's plenty of fresh insight here. I might have given this book 4/5 stars in relation to Brown's very best work, but I wanted to help offset the 1-star review which Amazon is weighting extra for being a verified purchase. Fantastic read, worth the purchase!

If this book was any drier, you could eat it as a cracker.
