Biography
Estelle Lazer
'Resurrecting Pompeii is a remarkable book' – Times Literary Supplement
'Those who have been lucky enough to hear Estelle lecture will not be surprised by the clarity and pervading logic of her narrative, nor by the touches of quirky humour that emerge. From the first page the tone is a ‘double whammy’, both engaging and scholarly.' – Dennis Mootz, NSW History Teacher's Association, Australia
