Synopsis
The book makes a contribution to the growing body of literature on gender in early societies with a critical evaluation of the uses of evidence in addressing gender issues., Talalay reports on a small body of figurines (24 figurines and 21 fragments) recovered during excavations at Franchthi Cave and at the nearby open-air settlement along the present shoreline. She also reexamines the theoretical and methodological foundations of scholarship in the field of figurine studies. A thorough and pathfinding study of the most important body of figurines from southern Greece, this book will be especially valuable to specialists in prehistoric Greece and to all scholars interested in early representations of the human figure in prehistoric art and in the significance of these representations to the members of early human communities. The book also makes a contribution to the growing body of literature on gender in early societies with a critical evaluation of the uses of evidence in addressing gender issues.

- c***a (105)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseWas super excited about receiving this book. Great condition and fast delivery!!!
- c***a (4)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseMs. Lewalski was the foremost Milton scholar of our time. Her introduction and commentary are illuminating and original. The book is bound and sized as a college text. "Bubble" definitions explain arcane terms in the margins. If study of this work is the goal, this is an ideal edition. If, like me, I'd like to revisit great literature, a more compact format would be appreciated.
