Cambridge University Press The History Written on the Classical Greek Body
Book SynopsisThis book challenges historians to come to terms with the distortions that they systematically introduce into their work by their reliance on what has been written on paper without looking at what was and was not written on the body. This book is concerned with the ways in which texts relating to classical Greece, and in particular to classical Athens, classified people and with the extent to which those classifications could be seen by the eye. It compares the qualities distinguished in texts to those distinguished in sculpture and painted pottery, and emphasises the frequent invisibility of the categories upon which historians have laid most stress the citizen, the free person, the foreigner, even the god. The frequent impossibility of seeing who belonged to which category has major political, social and theological implications which are explored here, as well as potentially revolutionary implications for all future historical writing.Trade Review"His aim is not to produce a history of the Greek body, but rather to use the body as a lens to bring into focus the biases and distortions inherent in more traditional text-centered histories." -- Zachary Biles, New England Classical JournalTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1. Writing history on the classical body; 2. The appearance of the classical Greek body; 3. The distinguished body; 4. The citizen body; 5. Foreign bodies; 6. Dirty bodies; 7. Godsbodies; 8.

Cambridge University Press Marc Bloch
Book SynopsisThis 1991 book was the first biography of Marc Bloch (18861944), historian, soldier in both world wars, and leader of the Resistance, who was captured, tortured, and died a heroic death. Based largely on Bloch's private letters, diaries and papers, as well as on other unpublished documents, it traces the remarkable life of this French-Jewish patriot under the Third Republic.Trade Review'One of the twentieth century's most important intellectual figures.'

Carole Fink's well-researched, sympathetic biography, the first in any language, reminds us why.' New York Times Book Review'Carole Fink has written the first full-length biography of Marc Bloch with thoroughness, sympathy and perceptiveness ... an absorbing book ... [which would have] pleased Bloch, for whom history was both a fascinating story and a science always in motion.'

Cambridge University Press The Cambridge Introduction to Theatre Historiography Cambridge Introductions to Literature
Book SynopsisThis Introduction - an indispensable 'how to' guide for students and teachers alike - investigates the methods and aims of historical study in the performing arts, from archival research to historical writing. Beginning with case studies on Shakespearean theatre and avant-garde theatre, this study examines fundamental procedures and problems in documentary history and cultural history. It demonstrates how historians not only construct various kinds of performance events but also place them in relation to the historical agents, the political and social conditions, artistic traditions, audience responses, and historical periods. Drawing upon scholarship in classics, literary studies, art history, performance studies, and general history, Postlewait shows how to ask appropriate historical questions, construct evidence, use plays as historical documents, eliminate faulty sources, challenge unreliable witnesses, and develop historical arguments and narratives. The book concludes with a survTable of ContentsIntroduction: on some preliminary matters; Part I. Documentary History vs Cultural History: Two Case Studies: 1.
