All in a Don's Day is a collection of blog posts written by Cambridge Classics professor, Mary Beard, between 2009 and 2011, so if you follow Professor Beard's blog, there's nothing "new" here. While it's possibly not a book to read from cover to cover, then, it's nice to dip in and out of—Beard's posts cover, in a pithy manner, everything from the red tape and frustrations of academia to the parallels between ancient Roman and modern British politics. There are some posts of hers with which I agree, some which make me think, and others with which I vehemently disagree (the access to/diversity of an Oxbridge education, for instance, or online pseudonyms), but all make for interesting reading.

Her central themes are the classics, universities and teaching - and much else besides. In this second collection following on from the success of It's a Don's Life, Beard ponders whether Gaddafi's home is Roman or not, we share her 'terror of humiliation' as she enters 'hairdresser country' and follow her dilemma as she wanders through the quandary of illegible handwriting on examination papers and 'longing for the next dyslexic' - on whose paper the answers are typed, not handwritten. Praise for It's a Don's Life 'Delightful ... it has the virtues of brevity, eclecticism and learning worn li Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
