About this book
Hill guides the reader on a tour of Stonehenge in all its cultural contexts, as a monument to many things—to Renaissance Humanism, Romantic despair, Victorian enterprise, and English Radicalism.
Reviews
[W]itty, erudite… [Hill’s] book is a treasure: stylish, thoughtful, miraculously condensed, and as full of knowledge as a megalith is full of megalith.
-- John Carey Sunday Times
-- John Carey Sunday Times
Readable and well-researched, this is an excellent primer on…varying ways that people have interpreted the enigmatic and iconographic arrangement of stones, ranging from theater for human sacrifice to ‘carhenge’ and other ironic re-creations.
