Reviews for The Classical Tradition: Art, Literature, Thought

<p> The authors are able to write a most readable book thathas the merit to summarize the topic of the afterlife of antiquitywith a variety not common in other books on the same subject. Theemphasis on architecture, and not only on visual arts, and thereferences to political and aesthetic thought are mostwelcome. (Enthymema, 28 November 2014)
