SPAWFORTH, A. J. S., Greece and the Augustan Cultural Revolution. Cambridge University Press, 2015. 328p. Paperback. Series: Greek Culture in the Roman World. 'This work is an important crystallization of a particular (and predominant) point of view regarding the operation, transmission, and evolution of culture in the Greek East. It is a skillful, provocative, beautifully flawed work that annoyed and delighted in equal measure, and is essential reading for anyone working on Roman Greece or issues of cultural interaction more broadly. In reference to art, Simon Schama said that you can identify a great work when you turn your back on it and still feel its presence.6 By that definition, Spawforth will be at our backs for some time to come.'

VERMEULE, Emily, Greece in the Bronze Age. University of Chicago Press, Chicago / London, 1972. 5th impr. XXI,406,XLVIIIp. ills.(B&W photographs and line drawings).Original decorative cloth. Spine gilt titled. Name and date on free endpaper. ‘Here is a much-needed survey of Greece from 6500 to 1100 B.C. (…) Necessarily the text is largely a synthesis. No easy task this, for the sources are scattered and the apprenticeship arduous; but Mrs. Vermeule can boast impressive credentials. Trained as a classicist (…), she has also had extensive archaeological experience in the field and in the museum (…). Her aim, happily, has been soundness rather than novelty; the result is a sensible intermediate text-book. The successive phases of prehistoric Greece pass before us: material remains (architecture, pottery, sculpture, painting), burial customs, trade, even racial affinities, language, and religion. The people are brought to life deftly, in sprightly and often memorable style. (…) All this is narrated with professional skill, and freedom from prejudice. (…) Emphatically the right book at the right time by the right author.’ (WALLACE McLEOD in Phoenix, 1965, pp.237-39). € 45.00 (Antiquarian)

WARRY, J.G., Greek Aesthetic Theory. A Study of Callistic and Aesthetic Concepts in the Works of Plato and Aristotle. Methuen, London, 1962. 168p. Cloth. 'Warry’s purpose is an ambitious one. It is to build up a systematic theory of aesthetics from the relevant material in Plato and Aristotle which will be saner and better balanced than modern theories, and more easily intelligible to the modern student and critic. (…). On the whole I enjoyed reading it, but I am sceptical about the claim that it systematizes the views of Plato and Aristotle and that it offers a solution to many of the problems which still occupy the minds of critics and aestheticians today.'
