Holding up a Mirror : How Civilizations Decline
Editorial Reviews
Alan Massie, The Daily Telegraph
It is a strength of this rich and engrossing book that it provokes on almost every page a willingness to argue with the author. Her thesis is challenging, and her examples abundant and abundantly interesting.
John Habgood, Times Higher Ed. Supplement
Her focus on the theatre . . . gives her book an interest and a solid core that lend credibility to the main thesis.
