ОглавлениеA Note on Creative Reconstruction
As mentioned in the introduction, there are creatively reconstructed dialogues throughout this book. It is impossible to know exactly what Aeschylus said to Pericles, or Rembrandt to Joachim von Sandrart, or Frederick Lander to Lincoln, but there are primary documents – inscriptions, drawings, diaries – that put these individuals together at key moments of this history, inviting an educated guess as to what they may have said. Dialogue is introduced only when we have evidence that such an interaction took place.
