![]() This is well-worth working through for anyone who wants a good basic understanding of GReek art and archaeology. I'm sure Bronze Age or post-Classical specialists will grind their teeth slightly by this privileging of the Classical, but, as someone who favours the late Roman Empire, that is common when one has to deal with a 'Golden Age'. Those are important, of course, but I do get impatient with the amount of it at times. That makes sense because the sheer amount of pieces increases vastly in the fifth century, but one can notice a change in the style which shifts away from trends to highly descriptive passages. It gives an excellent overview of Greek material culture from the Bronze Age to the Hellenistic Age.Īs one might expect because of the volume of finds, a lot of attention is given to Classical pieces as opposed to those periods before and after. The sometimes very technical discussions are relieved by the glossary (if I chose to consult it, which I usually didn't bother- laziness, not erudition, being the reason). It provides an excellent introduction to the topic of Greek material culture which is, of course, its job. Unfortunately, this edition is currently out of stock.
