The Art of Ancient Greece
This book, a companion volume to Professor Pollitt's The Art of Rome: Sources and Documents (published by the Press in 1983), presents a comprehensive collection in translation of ancient literary evidence relating to Greek sculpture, painting, architecture, and the decorative arts.

Damon Phylax
Five years ago, when I conceived the idea of writing a biography of the celebrated journalist and philanthropist, Thomas Golconda Fairchild, I had no inkling of how exotic and perplexing my project would become. I had thought, in fact, that it would be rather easy. The essential phases of Fairchilds careerhis adventures and explorations in the Caribbean, his experiences as a war correspondent, his rise to wealth, his patronage of utopian projects, and his later career as a crusading newspaper editorwere all amply recorded in public documents.

The Cambridge History of Painting in the Classical World
Painting was one of the major achievements of the Classical world. This book examines the development of mural and panel painting in the Classical world from the earliest Minoan and Cycladic frescoes of the Aegean Bronze Age to late Roman painting, from approximately 1800 B.C. to A.D. 400. It provides a comprehensive study of major monuments, including exciting new material that has been discovered in recent years and has transformed the field.

The Hellenistic Aesthetic
"Fowler's . . . own insights are apparent throughout, and they seem to distill the personal appreciation and understanding of a scholar who has devoted much of her career to both contemplating and enjoying Hellenistic poetry. . . . [This book] would make an excellent background text for courses in later Greek and Roman art, and it can be read with profit by anyone interested in exploring the character of Hellenistic culture."--J. J. Pollitt, American Journal of Archaeology "Outstanding is the range of examples discussed both in poetry and art. Theocritus, Callimachus, Appolonius, the epigrammatists, and others--that is, the major figures of the time--are considered at length and in several d...
