Mary Beard, a Cambridge Don is also a blog enthusiast and It’s a Don’s Life is a selection of her pieces. Her field is classics and being a populist – of the best sort – these offer some lively and sometimes challenging views on the Ancients. Pieces on her life and work are interspersed making this an engaging look at history, education, the challenge of scholarship and the controversy that such forthright views can bring.
