What to expect
'This extraordinary book is vintage Tom Holland: history boldly and elegantly retold, with fascinating interconnections traced to create a narrative that cannot fail to stimulate, for it leads to a never-ending question' Dairmaid MacCulloch
Critics Review
Terrific: bold, ambitious and passionate
Tom Holland is fun to read, monstrously erudite, wickedly joyful, and ahead of the established consensus, on average, by four years, three months, and two days
This extraordinary book is vintage Tom Holland: history boldly and elegantly retold, with fascinating interconnections traced to create a narrative that cannot fail to stimulate, for it leads to a never-ending question
Holland is an illuminating guide on a journey from Ancient Athens to 21st-century gay rights
Sustained with all the breadth, originality and erudition that we have come to associate with Holland’s writing
Fizzing with insights and challenges, this is one history book that is timely and important, as well as a feast of intellectual entertainment
Holland is an exceptionally good storyteller with a marvellous eye for detail
An all-absorbing story
This book has ruffled feathers . . . lyrical, vivid
It’s not often that you come across a book that completely transforms your understanding of the world
A rich and compelling history of Christendom . . . A masterpiece of scholarship and storytelling, Dominion surpasses Holland’s earlier books in its sweeping ambition and gripping presentation
[Holland encapsulates] so much, so intelligently and entertainingly, in a book that’s fizzing with ideas
I love the sweep of it
Tom Holland’s stupendous new book . . . There isn’t a page of this magnificent book that does not contain some
fascinating detail and the narrative is held together with a novelist’s eye for character and theme
A brilliant meditation on how Christianity in its Latin and Protestant forms entirely changed the way humans conceive life and their relationship to each other
An absorbing survey of Christianity’s subversive origins and enduring influence is filled with vivid portraits, gruesome deaths and moral debates . . . Holland has all the talents of an accomplished novelist: a gift for narrative, a lively sense of drama and a fine ear for the rhythm of a sentence
If great books encourage you to look at the world in an entirely new way, then Dominion is a very great book indeed . . . Written with terrific learning, enthusiasm and good humour, Holland’s book is not just supremely provocative, but often very funny
A bravura swing through centuries of Western European history . . . a cornucopia of characters and information: almost everyone would learn from it something they didn’t know . . . the range and unobvious sweep of his narrative are most impressive
An erudite and fascinating look at the enduring legacy of Christianity, which, as numbers of believers are dwindling
Those who like their history with a dose of lessons about the present will be impressed by Tom Holland’s ambitious Dominion
Definitely my book of the year
