Silent urns
Romanticism, Hellenism, modernity
by David S. Ferris, David Ferris, and David Ferris
"The study of Greece as an icon of culture appears to be as old as Greece itself. In Silent Urns, the author reveals how Greece attained such significance as the result of the attempt to reconcile individuality, freedom, history, and modernity in eighteenth-century aesthetics.
He argues that Winckelmann's History of Ancient Art (1764) produced this reconciliation by developing a concept of culture that effectively defined our modern understanding of the term, as well as our sense of what it is to be modern. From this reconciliation, Greece emerges as the form in which culture is first conceptualized as a historically and politically defined category."--BOOK JACKET.
