Very good, clean copy. "To be the first full and convincing historian of obscure centuries and the interpreter of a difficult and unpromising material culture is more than falls to most scholars in the course of a lifetime." So wrote the anonymous TLS reviewer in 1972. The Dark Age of Greece, now available for the first time in paperback, is reissued with a foreword in which Professor Snodgrass considers what effect three decades of research and scholarship have had on his original findings and arguments. The author constructs a narrative of four centuries of Greek history from an exhaustive synthesis of literary and archeological evidence - pottery, burial-practices, architecture and metalwork, and what can be discovered of religion, commerce, and language. He argues that this was in truth a dark age, both from the perspective of scholarship and. more importantly, to the people who lived through it in poor, isolated communities, conscious of lost skills and departed glories. The Dark Age of Greece remains the most comprehensive and coherent account of this period in the history of ancient Greece. It is a vital source of ideas and evidence for students, as full of interest as ever for the general reader. "A book which attempts much and achieves much. It has the paradoxical distinction of conjuring order and light from the shadows and uncertainties of a truly dark age." Antiquity "A comprehensive archeological and interpretative survey of the dark age . a study in which students of these formative centuries in Greek history will have an important handbook as well as find challenging ideas."
