'A powerful, indeed Umberto Eco-like version of historical reconstruction
appeared in Lawrence Norfolk's Lempriere's Dictionary (1992), an admirably
learned novel where an eighteenth century project of writing a classical
dictionary is interrupted by mysterious global plots (to do with the East
India Company), a vast cast of characters spread across the world, and
various Gothic horrors.'
(The Modern Novel, p. 406)
