Auden. What does Roman Britain mean to us now? How were its physical remains rediscovered and made sense of? How has it been reimagined, in story and song and verse?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Charlotte Higgins has traced these tales by setting out to discover the remains of Roman Britain for herself, sometimes on foot, sometimes in a splendid, though not particularly reliable, VW camper van. Via accounts of some of Britain''s most intriguing, and often unjustly overlooked ancient monuments, \u003ci\u003eUnder Another Sky\u003c\/i\u003e invites us to see the British landscape, and British history, in an entirely fresh way: as indelibly marked by how the Romans first imagined, and wrote, these strange and exotic islands, perched on the edge of the known world, into existence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e''\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eMesmerising...
