Greek Tyrants (University Library) - Softcover

The Greek Tyrants

Paperback. HUTCHINSON UNIVERSITY LIBRARYTyrannies are to be found in all periods of Greek history but it is the sixth and fifth centuries B.C., when an old order was breaking down and a new order was not yet established, that are the main concern of this book. Professor Andrewes' study of the military, economic, political and social influences at a turning-point in Greek political development provides both the student and the interested layman with a clear and original insight into what has been called 'the age of tyrants'.THE TIMES EDUCATIONAL SUPPLEMENT'Brilliant and thought-provoking. . This is the very best type of popular work, easy and elegant writing for the general reader, while the professional will recognize that it is packed with original thought not to be found elsewhere.'THE CLASSICAL REVIEW'What is striking about The Greek Tyrants is its clarity and sane judgement. The style is admirably simple and concise. The evidence is given fairly. The argument is lucid and honest and remarkably free of prejudices. Altogether this is an excellent and a necessary book, which gives the best account not only of the tyrants, but of early Greek history generally, and it is as valuable to the expert as it is to the beginner.' Secondhand. Good Condition. Artikel-Nr. 24942195
