ROBERTSON, M., A Shorter History of Greek Art. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge (...), 1991. Reprint 1st ed.1981. XI,240p. ills. (B&W photographs). Paperback. Small stamp on title page.'Martin Robertson's 'A History of Greek Art' appeared in 1975 to justly enthousiastic reviews. The Cambridge University Press fortunately realised that there was a market for a shorter version, for they had at their fingertips one of the greatest scholars of Classical Art and Archaeology that the world has yet produced and one who can write so well that his words strike chords in the hearts of scholars and laymen alike. (...) The surgeon retained much of the character of the original, for R. wisely chose to concentrate on a few monuments, rather than lose focus by glancing at everything. (...) It is a compelling story and it is compellingly told. The narrative is smooth, the language chrystal clear and the love for the subject apparent and inspiring.' (DYFRI WILLIAMS in The Classical Review (New Series), 1983, pp.290-91). From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott. € 22.50 (Antiquarian) ISBN: 9780521280846
