Editorial Reviews
Review
"One of the best arguments presented for some time in favor of close, minute, and accurate scholarship. [Jones] harnesses his learning to a definite end, and produces results which may come as a surprise to traditional humanists." -- Times Literary Supplement
Product Description
The 5th century BC witnessed not only the emergence of one of the first democracies but also the Persian and the Peloponnesian Wars. John Thorley provides a concise analysis of the development and operation of Athenian democracy against this backdrop. Taking into account both primary source material and the work of modern historians, Athenian Democracy examines:
- The Prelude to democracy
- How the democatic system emerged
- How this system worked in practice
- The efficiency of this system of government
- The success of Athenian democracy
Including a useful Chronology and Bibliography, this second edition has been updated to take into account recent research.
