Review Text

'This book is a superb resource for students and teachers of ancient Greek fine art specifically and the ancient Greek earth equally a whole. Barringer strikes an ideal balance between brevity and depth, leaving just enough room between the sentences for dialogue, word, and discourse. No mere survey, this important new text goes out of its mode to problematize traditional narratives and signal to the subconscious riches and complexities of the field.' Peter Schultz, Concordia College, Moorhead, Minnesota

Review quote

'This book is a superb resource for students and teachers of aboriginal Greek art specifically and the ancient Greek world as a whole. Barringer strikes an ideal balance between brevity and depth, leaving just plenty room between the sentences for dialogue, discussion, and soapbox. No mere survey, this important new text goes out of its way to problematize traditional narratives and point to the subconscious riches and complexities of the field.' Peter Schultz, Concordia College, Moorhead, Minnesota 'There is no lack of practiced introductions to the art and archaeology of aboriginal Hellenic republic, merely Barringer's new book - conspicuously written and presented, incorporating the latest scholarship, and superbly illustrated (many images are new, unusual and uncommonly instructive in themselves) - will occupy the beginning rank. The narrative is made to order for undergraduate surveys, but even advanced students and scholars will benefit from the book's succinct and perceptive analyses of the themes, functions and cultural contexts of the major monuments of Greek art and architecture. It is that rare affair: a readable survey that intimates the richness, depth and complexity of its subject.' Jeffrey M. Hurwit, University of Oregon
