Ancient Art and Ritual

How Greek drama grew out of ritual - the year-daemon, the dance, the chorus - by the scholar who changed the way the classical world is read. Harrison was one of the first women to hold an academic post in England and argued for the primitive under the marble. This edition binds 60 plates of painting with the text, among them works by Poussin, Claude Lorrain and Leighton, alongside five illustrations restored and coloured for this printing.
