<br/><br/> What warranted the skewering of Richard Bentley (whom Rhodri Lewis called "perhaps the most notable--and notorious--scholar ever to have English as a mother tongue") by two of the literary giants of his day? Kristine Haugen offers a fascinating portrait of Europe's most infamous classical scholar and the intellectual turmoil he set in motion.
