Editorial Review:
Due to his influence on subsequent cultural development, Alexander the Great may be said to have revenged his untimely death in a fashion without parallel in world history. In this volume, Alexander's Revenge: Hellenistic Culture through the Centuries, edited by Jon Ma. Asgeirsson, University of Iceland, and Nancy van Deusen, Claremont Graduate School, Claremont, California, twelve prominent scholars in the field of biblical studies, medieval studies, and history write on various aspects of Western civilization following the death of Alexander the Great to the Early Modern Age. Ranging in field from education, art, music, literature, biblical studies, philosophy ... to demography, this collection of essays offers an interdisciplinary focus in the field of cross-cultural studies demonstrating how the world of Alexander is still shaping the present world situation.
