He emphasizes the local not merely as a category of analysis but as a source of conflicting, resistant, alternative modes of discourse that added immeasurably to the richness of archaic and classical culture.\"--Jeremy McInerney, author of Ancient Greece: A New History \"In creating a compelling case for the importance of the local, Beck provides a much-needed corrective to a scholarly orthodoxy that has underestimated the importance of place. Throughout, Beck displays a dazzling virtuosity with regard to his command of the scholarship and his ability to mesh literary sources--many of them drawn from relatively obscure and fragmentary authors--with numismatics, visual imagery, pottery styles, landscape archaeology, and archaeological field survey. It will certainly add a fresh new voice to the ongoing debate about connectivity.\"--Jonathan Hall, author of Artifact and Artifice: Classical Archaeology and the Ancient Historian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMap\u003cbr\u003e List of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e Preface\u003cbr\u003e Chapter One: Localism and the Local in Ancient Greece\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Two: Attachment to the Land\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Three: Senses and Sensation\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Four: The Gods in Place\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Five: Big Politics, through the Local Lens\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Six: Toward a Local History of Ancient Greece\u003cbr\u003e   Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e References\u003cbr\u003e Index","brand":"The University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49400094294359,"sku":"9780226711485","price":33.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780226711485.jpg?v=1730469700","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/localism-and-the-ancient-greek-citystate-9780226711485","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
