Daisy Dunn writes biography, classical history and literary nonfiction about the ancient Mediterranean and the later writers who interpreted it. Catullus' Bedspread combines the life and poetry of Catullus with the political world of the late Roman Republic, while The Shadow of Vesuvius follows Pliny the Elder and Pliny the Younger through science, literature and the eruption of Vesuvius. Not Far from Brideshead turns to writers and classicists in twentieth-century Oxford. Dunn's prose is narrative and biographical rather than textbook-like. The most relevant shelves are classical history, Roman literature and biography shaped by surviving texts. Read more Less
