LINDSAY, J., The Clashing Rocks. Early Greek Religion and Culture and the Origins of Drama. Chapman & Hall, London, 1965. 1st ed. IX,517p. Original lilac cloth with dust wrps. Corners as well as head and tail spine bumped. Upper part dust wrps worn. With signature from Prof. Carl Deroux on free endpaper. 'This is a remarkable book, likely to infuriate the professional and baffle the amateur student of antiquity. The material which it handles is itself intractable, while its author is wild and quite unable to distinguish between what is relevant and valid and what is the reverse. (...) Lindsay is not lacking in ideas of his own, and these are poured forth in headless profusion, but judgement is as scarce as ideas are plentiful.' (P. WALCOT in The Journal of Hellenic Studies, 1966. p.233). From the library of Professor Carl Deroux. € 14.50 (Antiquarian)
