'A sweeping religious and historical study.' History Today


Author Information

Jack J. Lennon is Teaching Fellow in the Department of History, University College London. He is an ancient historian with particular interests in pre-Christian Roman religion and magic, and especially the phenomenon of pollution and ritual impurity. His research frequently aims to integrate the theories of modern anthropology alongside those of ancient history and philology in order to explore beyond the traditional limits of classical scholarship. In addition to studying the nature of pollution within religion, he is also interested in the wider cultural perceptions of dirt and cleanliness across ancient Roman society.
