Talk by Michael Grant
' In my life,' Mommsen declared in his will, ' in spite of my external successes
I have failed.' Michael Grant , Professor of Humanity at Edinburgh University, speaks of Mommsen's qualities as a historian and of the grounds for his sense of failure. This is a new version or the talk broadcast last November on the fiftieth anniversary of Mommsen death.
