134 p.: ill. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Schutzumschlag abgenutzt, insgesamt vergilbt, sonst gutes Exemplar / Dust jacket worn, yellowed overall, otherwise a good copy. - In the present volume Dr. Fairbanks points out, first, that it is the art of Greece and Rome rather than that of any other age or people which makes an immediate appeal to the modern mind. An analysis of what is meant by the classical tradition shows that it is marked by a clear cut, intellectual point of view which determines its different forms of expression. The author traces “the Greek spirit” in its restless odyssey across the centuries to the present time. Finally, the attempt is made to determine what is meant by the Greek spirit and what are some of the ways in which it is manifested in Greek art, in such a way that its presence may be detected in the later art of Europe even to the present day.
