Description
History thrives on stories. This book explores archaeology's influence on what such stories say, how they are told, who tells them and how we listen. Drawing upon genres that are usually pursued in isolation - like biography, poetry, or physics - Richard Morris finds potent links between things we might imagine to be unrelated. His subjects range from humanity's roots to the destruction of the wildwood, from the first farmers to industrialization, and from Tudor drama to 20th-century conflict.
