It is unreliable and not exhaustive (although perhaps more reliable and more exhaustive than some of what passes for scholarship today) in its reference; it is rambling and perhaps unfocused; it is decidedly, in the words of an anonymous peer reviewer I once encountered in a different context, \"shockingly untheorized\". \u003ci\u003eStirring the Dry Bones\u003c\/i\u003e is a product of what the same anonymous reviewer named \"an old-style philologist\". This fact will perhaps become obvious with a glance at the notes and the bibliography, which are both filled with a grand company of very old old-style philologists. Not much space is held for more modern scholarship, partly out of a lack of interest in the modern theoretical fads of the field, and partly out of the sheer laziness of advancing age: I have a very nice garden (alongside a personal library Cicero would have envied) and \"Je sais aussi. . . qu'il faut cultiver notre jardin.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Richardson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8844093995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798844093999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/05\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.42d","brand":"John Richardson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44079096594687,"sku":"9798844093999","price":18.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ad441fac-090f-4281-8d3b-87441e8c06a5.jpg?v=1685479273","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stirring-the-dry-bones-john-richardson-9798844093999","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
