Seller's Description:
New. Excellent New Book. With a Preface to the American Edition by Prof. Stephen G. Miller, University of California at Berkeley. "Nearly half a century has passed since the original appearance of E. Norman Gardiner's Athletics of the Ancient World. In the interval many discoveries have been made which ought to have rendered Gardiner's work obsolete; many books have been written on the subject which ought to have replaced Athletics of the Ancient World. It has, however, not been replaced as is shown not only by this, but also by previous reprints in 1955, 1965, 1970, and 1971, all of which have sold out making the book once more unavailable. The principal reason for the continued usefulness of AAW lies with its author. E. Norman Gardiner was recognized during his own lifetime as the unrivaled authority on Greek Athletics. The timelessness of Gardiner's work lies, then, partly in his enormous learning It lies even more, however, in his ability to write intelligibly for both the interested layman and the specialized scholar The status of our knowledge is made clear, the source of information obvious, problems well defined, but never to the confusion of the reader His learning sits gracefully upon his lucid prose, and one recognizes that Gardiner knew his subject matter intimately, cared for it tremendously, and wanted to share it generously." From the Preface by S. G. Miller. 246pp.
