Media Reviews
Her book has as much in common with Antonia Fraser's Boadicea... It comes, I feel, still closer to Marina's Warner's Monuments and Maidens in its mood and in its spirit, in its careful relation of the visual and verbal. It is a book which builds up pictures in the mind -- Fiona MacCarthy * Observer *
Lucy Hughes-Hallett... throws a searching light on two thousand years of male erotic fantasy -- Joan Smith * New Statesman *
Richly entertaining and thought-provoking... a fascinating and humorous work... Every Antony should read it * Times Literary Supplement *
Lucy Hughes-Hallett's brilliant and discursive study of Cleopatra -- Antonia Fraser * Sunday Times *
The world's most famous beauty, for whom the world was well lost, turns out to have been less of a siren, more of a Caesar, in Lucy Hughes-Hallett's entertaining and thoughtful study -- Marina Warner * Independent on Sunday *
