- Double-weighted statement
- This book discusses the nature and modern afterlife of an ancient, mainly Roman, complex of words, ideas, images, topoi, values and controversies having to do with variety. It is very wide-ranging and involved considerable research beyond my main focus of expertise, particularly in the Renaissance. It is both extensive, covering the whole classical tradition and intensive, containing original studies of a few particular authors. There are no comparable works of scholarship and so material had to be assembled from a very wide variety of sources, and the composition and arrangement of the book required considerable thought and revision
