STYLE AND SOCIETY IN DARK AGE GREECE The Changing Face of a Pre-literate Society 1100-700 BC
Cambridge University Press. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1991. Hardcover. 0521373832 . Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. ; In this innovative study James Whitley examines the relationship between the development of pot style and social changes in the Dark Age of Greece 1100-700 BC. He focuses on Athens where the Protogeometric and Geometric styles first appeared. He considers pot shape and painted decoration primarily in relation to the other relevant features - metal artefacts grave architecture funerary rites and the age and sex of the deceased - and also takes into account different contexts in which these shapes and decorations appear. A computer analysis of grave assemblages supports his view that pot style is an integral part of the collective representations of Early Athenian society. It is a lens through which we can focus on the changing social circumstances of Dark Age Greece. Dr Whitley's approach to the study of style challenges many of the assumptions which have underpinned more traditional studies of Early Greek art. ; New Studies in Archaeology; 10.25 x 1 x 7.5 Inches; 245 pages .

EROS IN MOURNING From Homer to Lacan
The Johns Hopkins University Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1994. Hardcover. 0801849233 . Dustjacket has light rubbing. ; Eros in Mourning begins with a reading of the Iliad that shows how Homer not yet influenced by the ideology of transcendence analyzes the structure of unassuageable mourning in a way that is as up-to-date as the latest poststructuralism. Then in readings of Dante Hamlet La Princess de Cl�ves Heart of Darkness and Lacan Staten depicts the "thanato-erotic" hysteria that is set off by the specter of the dead and decomposing body that is also the body of sexual love and which in the "transcendentalizing" tradition is more female than male. Yet St. John certain troubadours and Milton offer glimpses of a more affirmative relation to "eros in mourning. " ; 9.5 x 1 x 6.5 Inches; 248 pages . The Johns Hopkins University Press hardcover

Cotterell Arthur
CHARIOT The Astounding Rise and Fall of the World's First War Machine
Pimlico. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 2004. Hardcover. 0712669426 . Narrating the development and disappearance of the world's first war machine this book reminds readers that much of the power of ancient empires was two-wheeled and horse-driven. Harnessed to other historians' broad-spectrum research on the causes of the end of the Bronze Age Cotterell argues that much like the later introduction of the stirrup chariot technology dramatically recast battlefield strategy across the ancient world. Egyptians employed chariots as all-purpose fighting machines while Roman chariots were more ceremonial and Indian troops used theirs as archery platforms; Chinese engineers developed more efficient harnesses permitting heavier cars. The author's comparative approach broadens the appeal of what would otherwise seem a narrow topic but this account nevertheless behaves as a detailed military history. Particularly interesting for such scholarship the author also discusses the chariot as a vehicle for modern popular culture; it aims to dispel the notion that chariots were simply horse-pulled tanks. Scholarly yet accessible ; 344 pages . Pimlico hardcover

Tandy David W. & University of California Press
WARRIORS INTO TRADERS The Power of the Market in Early Greece
University of California Press. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1997. Hardcover. 0520202694 . Very light shelfwear. ; The eighth century dawned on a Greek world that had remained substantially unchanged during the centuries of stagnation known as the Dark Age. This book is a study of the economic and cultural upheaval that shook mainland Greece and the Aegean area in the eighth century and the role that poetry played in this upheaval. Using tools from political and economic anthropology David Tandy argues that between about 800 and 700 B. C. a great transformation of dominant economic institutions took place involving wrenching adjustments in the way status and wealth were distributed within the Greek communities. Tandy explores the economic organization of preindustrial societies both ancient and contemporary to shed light on the Greek experience. He argues that the sudden shift in Greek economic formations led to new social behaviors and to new social structures such as the polis itself a by-product of economic change. Unraveling the dialectic between the material record and epic poetry Tandy shows that the epic tradition mirrored these new social behaviors and that it portrayed the stresses that economic change brought to the ancient Aegean world. Tandy brings in comparative evidence from other small-scale communities beset by changes spotlighting the specific plight of one community Ascra in Boeotia on whose behalf Hesiod sang his Works and Days. The result is a lively moving account of a human dilemma that many centuries later is all too familiar. ; Classics and Contemporary Thought; 9.5 x 1.25 x 6.5 Inches; 296 pages .
