Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a report on the British Parliamentary debates surrounding the proposal to purchase the Elgin Marbles for the British people. Following an extended mission to the Ottoman territories beginning in 1799, Lord Elgin acquired a large collection of marble sculptures from the ruins of ancient Greek temples. These marbles, now known as the Elgin Marbles, are considered to be among the most important surviving examples of Greek art. The debates in this book offer detailed discussion of the merits of the acquisition, exploring questions of cultural preservation, national pride, and artistic significance. The author provides valuable insight into the value of cultural artifacts and the ethical questions involved in their acquisition and display.
