About This Book

A series of travel essays and studies that recount journeys through Greece, blending detailed descriptions of landscape and flora with close readings of ancient monuments, museums, and recent archaeological discoveries. The author observes contemporary Greek society, customs, and political developments, contrasts modern life with classical associations, and reflects on the practical pleasures and inconveniences of travel. Interlaced are considerations of how excavation, urban growth, and improved communications are changing access to ruins and altering the country's character.
