Author: PETER GREEN
Title: Hellenistic History and Culture
Description: University of California Press, 1993. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 293. In a 1988 conference, American and British scholars unexpectedly discovered that their ideas were converging in ways that formed a new picture of the variegated Hellenistic mosaic. That picture emerges in these essays and eloquently displays the breadth of modern interest in the Hellenistic Age. A distrust of all ideologies has altered old views of ancient political structures, and feminism has also changed earlier assessments. The current emphasis on multiculturalism has consciously deemphasized the Western, Greco-Roman tradition, and Nubians, Bactrians, and other subject peoples of the time are receiving attention in their own right, not just as recipients of Greco-Roman culture. History, like Herakleitos' river, never stands still. These essays share a collective sense of discovery and a sparking of new ideas-they are a welcome beginning to the reexploration of a fascinatingly complex age. ISBN: 9780520075641. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
