berenikeasteria's review against another edition
3.0
Trevor Bryce is an author I’ve encountered before and generally speaking is a thorough and professional academic writer. This book was therefore a bit of a disappointment – not because it was bad in any, but because I was expecting more from it. The book is quite short, and Bryce spends a fair amount of page space setting up the major players and describing how the exchange of correspondence would’ve taken place. When he does come to the letters themselves, he often quotes extracts from them instead of in full, the rest of each chapter being an admittedly decent analysis of events described. I would’ve preferred more of the letters themselves.
