Demos: The Discovery of Classical Attika
ISBN: 9780521619264 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Demos is a study of a classical city-state. It is the first attempt to provide an integrated account which gives due attention to the countryside as well as the urban areas of a polis. Concentrating on classical Athens, for which the literary and archaeological evidence is richest, Dr Osborne establishes the nature of settlement in the countryside and explores how this relates to the farming of the land, the exploitation of mineral resources, and the nature of political participation in both local and central politics. Further studies reveal the way in which the countryside was structured by...

The Transformation of Athens: Painted Pottery and the Creation of Classical Greece
ISBN: 9780691177670 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. How remarkable changes in ancient Greek pottery reveal the transformation of classical Greek culture Why did soldiers stop fighting, athletes stop competing, and lovers stop having graphic sex in classical Greek art? The scenes depicted on Athenian pottery of the mid-fifth century BC are very different from those of the late sixth century. Did Greek potters have a different world to see--or did they come to see the world differently? In this lavishly illustrated and engagingly written book, Robin Osborne argues that these remarkable changes are the best evidence for the...

The History Written on the Classical Greek Body
ISBN: 9781107003200 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book challenges historians to come to terms with the distortions that they systematically introduce into their work by their reliance on what has been written on paper without looking at what was and was not written on the body. This book is concerned with the ways in which texts relating to classical Greece, and in particular to classical Athens, classified people and with the extent to which those classifications could be seen by the eye. It compares the qualities distinguished in texts to those distinguished in sculpture and painted pottery, and emphasises the frequent invisibility of...

Debating the Athenian Cultural Revolution: Art, Literature, Philosophy, and Politics 430-380 BC
ISBN: 9780521130585 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Whatever aspect of Athenian culture one examines, whether it be tragedy and comedy, philosophy, vase painting and sculpture, oratory and rhetoric, law and politics, or social and economic life, the picture looks very different after 400 BC from before 400 BC. Scholars who have previously addressed this question have concentrated on particular areas and come up with explanations, often connected with the psychological effect of the Peloponnesian War, which are very unconvincing as explanations for the whole range of change. This book attempts to look at a wide range of evidence for cultural...

Athens and Athenian Democracy
ISBN: 9780521605700 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 484 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. These collected papers construct a distinctive view of classical Athens and of Athenian democracy, a view which takes seriously the evidence of settlement archaeology and of art history. This evidence both casts new light on traditional questions and enables new questions to be asked, questions concerning the experience of being an Athenian citizen, how the institutions of democracy affected the Athenian economy, and how the rituals of religion related to the rituals of democratic politics. Unlike books on Athenian democracy which focus on the Assembly and Council, this book gives full weight...

ISBN: 9780192842022 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. Archaic and Classical Greek Art is a revolutionary introduction to the images and sculptures of Ancient Greece from the Geometric period to the early Hellenistic. By carefully examining the context in which sculptures and paintings were produced, author Robin Osborne shows how artists responded to the challenges they faced in the formidable and ambitious world of the Greek city-state, producing the rich diversity of forms apparent in Greek art. Artistic developments of the period combined the influences of the symbolism and imagery of eastern Mediterranean art with the explorations of...

Greece in the Making, 1200-479 BC
ISBN: 9780415469920 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Greece in the Making 1200-479 BC is an accessible and comprehensive account of Greek history from the end of the Bronze Age to the Classical Period. The first edition of this book broke new ground by acknowledging that, barring a small number of archaic poems and inscriptions, the majority of our literary evidence for archaic Greece reported only what later writers wanted to tell, and so was subject to systematic selection and distortion. This book offers a narrative which acknowledges the later traditions, as traditions, but insists that we must primarily confront the...
