Excellent book, worth a read for anyone involved in the 'Greek' tradition. Goldhill picks a couple of emblematic hot-spots in the history of caring about Greek-ness and Greek language to show the different things that have been at stake in knowing Greek. Gives us a heady dose of self-knowledge in a thoroughly entertaining medium (although his style, interrupted consistently by parentheticals just like this, can be a bit jarring until you get used to it.)
