Synopsis

A concise, scholarly collection of Harvard essays on classical subjects that illuminates ancient art, literature, and life for modern readers.


This volume gathers insight from members of the Harvard Classics Department, offering thoughtful readers an accessible look at Greek and Roman culture. It traces how scholarship has evolved, from early admiration of Roman sculpture to newer ways of interpreting art, society, and belief. The book blends analysis of monuments with reflections on ancient thought, giving a well‑rounded view of the classical world and its lasting influence.


  • Bold reassessments of Roman art and its relationship to Greek sculpture

  • Discussions of humanity, asceticism, and religious ideas in Greece and Rome

  • examinations of city life, architecture, and urban planning in antiquity

  • explorations of immortality, soul, and afterlife in Orphic, Platonic, and early Christian thought



Ideal for students, scholars, and curious readers who want a clear, evidence‑based look at how the ancient world has shaped modern ideas.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
