Book Synopsis
A groundbreaking account of ancient Greek funerary sculpture and its emotional effects

Trade Review
“Estrin offers a beautifully subtle analysis of funerary sculpture on its own terms—one that is sensitive to historical context, but that also builds a complex dynamic between the invisible body buried within the grave and the peculiarly elusive ‘presence’ of the stone forms. What emerges is a study that will be vital reading for anyone interested in classics, art history, or funerary art across all cultures and periods.”—Verity Platt, Cornell University

“This book is beautifully written and makes many important, original contributions to the field. It made me rethink my own assumptions about this material, which is just what a good book should do.”—Sheila Dillon, Duke University
