About The Book

We've been taught that history is the story of great events and important people -- but is it? In Milton's Teeth and Ovid's Umbrella, Michael Olmert shows how the most ordinary artifacts of everyday life can also be important sources of information.

For the modern historian it's the little things that count, and these intriguing essays force us to take another look at the odds and ends of life we so often take for granted.
