Recensioner i media

"I recommend this book to anyone interested in the relationship between archaeology and 'the image', and particularly point to the contributions by Glazier, Scott, Phillips and Arnold." Cultural Studies“Envisioning the Past dissects a range of visual reconstructions of antiquity to expose conventions so widely accepted that their distorting effect has become all but invisible. The reader undergoes a process of re-sensitization that is eye-opening in the most literal sense.” Arthur MacGregor, Ashmolean Museum, University of Oxford
