In the crumbling ruins of the Roman Empire, a city arose as a beacon of power and culture – Ravenna. In this groundbreaking historical account, Judith Herrin masterfully unravels the story of how this unlikely crucible forged a new era for Europe. With a bold reinterpretation of East-West dynamics, Herrin draws upon the latest archaeological evidence to paint a vivid tapestry of Ravenna's pivotal role in shaping the post-Roman world.

Judith Herrin is a leading authority on the Byzantine Empire and Professor Emerita at King's College London. Her previous works, including the acclaimed "Byzantium: The Surprising Life of a Medieval Empire", have garnered widespread critical acclaim for their scholarly rigor and captivating narratives. In "Ravenna: Capital of Empire, Crucible of Europe", Herrin's meticulous research and engaging prose transport readers to the heart of a transformative epoch, shedding new light on a city that defied the odds to become a crucible of European civilization.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
