The Rise and Fall of Adam and Eve by Stephen Greenblatt

4.0

An informative look at the story of Adam and Eve - how it was handed down through the centuries, the argument of a literal versus an allegorical interpretation, the artistic impressions it influenced, and its fate following the publication of Darwin's theory of evolution. Stephen Greenblatt's writing is excellent, conveying a breadth of information in a readable manner, but with an ornate style that reveals his enthusiasm for a topic we have all heard of but whose cultural impact we may not fully appreciate.
