De La Bédoyère, Guy DEFYING ROME The Rebels of Roman Britain
United Kingdom Tempus Publishing 2003 0752425617 / 9780752425610 Hardcover Fine in Fine dust jacket
DJ in mylar. ; 224pp, illustrated. Roman Britain’s most notable characteristic—at least in the eyes of the Romans—was that not only was it the most remote province, but it was also the most recalcitrant. The rebels of Roman Britain came in many forms from, most famously, Boudica and Caratacus, who wanted the Romans out, to Allectus and Carausius, whose rebellions were inspired by gaining power within the empire. Weaving together archaeology and contemporary documents and literature, Guy de la Bédoyère reveals why Britain was such a hotbed of dissent under Roman rule. ; 224 pages

Hallett, Judith P. & Christopher Stray (Ed. ) BRITISH CLASSICS OUTSIDE ENGLAND The Academy and Beyond
Baylor University Press 2009 160258012X / 9781602580121 Hardcover Very Good in Near Fine dust jacket
Stamp to foreedges of pages "review copy". 1 corner bumped. Very minor shelfwear to DJ. ; The essays in this informative book explore the impact of British classics--the study of Greco-Roman antiquity, with an emphasis on the classical Latin and Greek languages--beyond the borders of England itself, during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries: inside the academy as specialized scholarship and teaching, outside the academy as a mode of social and cultural formation. Not only did British classics permeate England; they brought English values to Scotland, Wales, and America as well. Far into the twentieth century, to learn classics "the Oxbridge way" was to cloak oneself in the mantle of a gentleman even when the "gentleman" was a woman. ; 230 pages
