Images in Mind Statues in Archaic and Classical Greek Literature and Thought

"This book will be widely read and used, and makes a genuine contribution to the field, in part at least because it puts together so much otherwise disparate material. The whole is written with great care at the level of the sentence; the style is pellucid, highly articulate, and careful, without either flashiness or plodding worthiness. As withThe Tyrant's Writ, the topic is very fashionable, and the book's themes will be of interest to a large group of scholars."--Simon Goldhill, Cambridge University "This book offers many new insights and observations. The broad issue at hand is one of crucial significance to both philologists and art historians alike, and there is nothing like this treatment presently in print. It is indisputably a significant contribution to the field. No one could come away from reading it without having a deepened appreciation for the complexity of the construction of meaning in both ancient art and literature."--Mark Fullerton, Ohio State UniversitySteiner, Deborah Tarn is the author of 'Images in Mind Statues in Archaic and Classical Greek Literature and Thought' with ISBN 9780691094885 and ISBN 0691094888.
