Author: SPAWFORTH, A. J. S.,
Title: Greece and the Augustan Cultural Revolution.
Description: Cambridge University Press, 2015. 328p. Paperback. Series: Greek Culture in the Roman World. 'This work is an important crystallization of a particular (and predominant) point of view regarding the operation, transmission, and evolution of culture in the Greek East. It is a skillful, provocative, beautifully flawed work that annoyed and delighted in equal measure, and is essential reading for anyone working on Roman Greece or issues of cultural interaction more broadly. In reference to art, Simon Schama said that you can identify a great work when you turn your back on it and still feel its presence.6 By that definition, Spawforth will be at our backs for some time to come.' (DANIEL R. STEWART in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2012.12.04).
