Reviews

"The Etruscans is cleverly written, because each chapter deals with one problem and then takes one object or place as an example of that problem. . . . This is a splendid little book, which brings the Etruscans up to date and does much to strip away the mystery that surrounds this lost civilization."-- "Current World Archaeology"

"Shipley's [bridges] deftly the ancient evidence and modern debates, and [shifts] focus seamlessly from the big picture to captivating details. She writes in an engaging, breezy style . . . Shipley's book accomplishes its mission with aplomb: it will not only hold the interest of students and scholars alike, but also speak in powerful ways to the interested lay reader. Indeed, if there is one book among the recent spate of works on the Etruscans that is likely to win over the popular imagination--one as alive to their distinct character and accomplishments as their lost legacy and muddled afterlives--Shipley's book is surely it. For The Etruscans demonstrates that new facts can be more interesting than old fiction."-- "Classical Journal"
