KLEIJWEGT, M., Ancient Youth. The Ambiguity of Youth and the Absence of Adolescence in Greco-Roman Society. Gieben, Amsterdam, 1991. XVI,401p. Original grey cloth with dust wrappers. Spine gilt titled. Ex libris glued to free endpaper. Series: Dutch Monogrpahs on Ancient History and Archaeology, Volume VIII. Nice copy. 'K. develops his (in my opinion largely valid) critique of Eyben's position that ancient resources reveal recognition of a period of 'adolescence' in the modern sense. (...) It is K.'s wide knowledge of both Greek and Latin epigraphical material, as much as his wide and up-to-date reading in modern scholarship, which makes this a useful book.' (THOMAS WIEDEMAN in The Classical Review (New Series), 1994, p.371-372). € 80.00 (Antiquarian) ISBN: 9789050630634
