| |
| RELIGION AND ART IN ANCIENT GREECE |
| |
| |
| “Anything from such an authority on Greek |
| art is welcome. This subject in the hands of |
| Professor Gardner becomes a profoundly |
| interesting study in the philosophy of |
| religion. He has dealt with the religion of |
| Greece as it affected the art of sculpture, |
| and with the reaction of that art upon the |
| ideals and aspirations of the people and its |
| influence upon the popular and the educated |
| conceptions of the gods. It is well worth |
| the trouble to study the religious art of |
| such a people, and this is an epitome of the |
| subject such as readers can get nowhere |
| else.” |

FLINDERS PETRIE | | | | THE REVOLUTIONS OF CIVILISATION | | | | Illustrated | | | | | | In the light of history--so enormously | | extended in recent years--the author surveys | | the waxing and waning of civilisation as | | evidenced in sculpture, painting, | | literature, mechanics, and wealth. In | | tracing the various forces at work in this | | fluctuation he arrives at most significant | | conclusions, notably in connection with race | | mixture and forms of government. | | | | “We know nothing that exhibits in so brief a | | compass the extraordinary vicissitudes of | | human progress and retrogression since the | | dawn of history.”--Birmingham Post. | | | -------------------------------------------------
