The best historical monograph on the island -- Lawrene Durrell, Reflections on a Marine Venus
The best historical monograph on the island --Lawrene Durrell, Reflections on a Marine Venus
Product Description
Cecil Torr's two 19th-century studies of Rhodes, in the Greek Dodecanese, off the coast of Asia Minor, were the first and most authoritative English guides to the island's multi-layered history. Although more than a hundred years have passed since publication, the reclusive scholar's Rhodes in Ancient Times and Rhodes in Modern Times remain firmly embedded in related bibliographies.
Impeccably qualified - Harrow (Arthur Evans was a class-mate), Trinity Cambridge, and Inner Temple barrister of formidable reputation - Cecil Torr had the true antiquarian's obsession for factual presentation and detailed analyses of primary sources.
First published in 1885, Rhodes in Ancient Times is an historical and cultural guide to one of the most influential and powerful maritime states in the Mediterranean. Torr's scholarly curiosity leads him to explore the island's history, culture, myths and legends, arts, and contribution to learning in the centuries before Christ. Naturally, the celebrated Colossus is not overlooked!
