Overview
In The Making of Stonehenge, Rodney Castleden provides a comprehensive sense of Stonehenge--both in relation to the similar sites nearby and in terms of its uses. First describing those elements which made possible the assembly of this vast stone circle, Castleden also speculates about the society which undertook the enormous task of transporting and raising these giant vertical stones. He concludes that there is no one ``meaning'' or ``purpose'' for Stonehenge, but that from its very beginning it has filled a variety of needs and considers the consequences of Stonehenge's continual mythologization and reappropriation.Book Details
