O tym produkcie
Product Information
In the spring of 1900, British archaeologist Arthur Evans began to excavate the palace of Knossos on Crete, bringing ancient Greek legends to life just as a new century dawned amid far-reaching questions about human history, art, and culture. With Knossos and the Prophets of Modernism , Cathy Gere relates the fascinating story of Evans's excavation and its long-term effects on Western culture. After the World War I left the Enlightenment dream in tatters, the lost paradise that Evans offered in the concrete labyrinth-pacifist and matriarchal, pagan and cosmic-seemed to offer a new way forward for writers, artists, and thinkers such as Sigmund Freud, James Joyce, Giorgio de Chirico, Robert Graves, and Hilda Doolittle. Assembling a brilliant, talented, and eccentric cast at a moment of tremendous intellectual vitality and wrenching change, Cathy Gere paints an unforgettable portrait of the age of concrete and the birth of modernism.

Reviews
Fascinating and consistently entertaining. . . . It is a tribute to the wit and clarity of Gere's style that she is able to explain all this without making the reader's brain ache., This is a simply wonderful book, expertly researched, written with panache, and consistently eye-opening. It brilliantly uncovers how the high priests of modernism--from Freud to Robert Graves to H.D.--were deeply engaged not just with the new discoveries of archaeology but also with a fantasy of ancient Crete--pacifist, sexually free, matriarchal--inaugurated by Sir Arthur Evans's dig at Knossos. This is cultural history at its very best., "In this original, most readable, and at times mesmerizing book, Cathy Gere provides an historical and intellectual context for Arthur Evans''s discovery and reconstruction of Knossos and Minoan civilization. . . . I think there is something of this wondrous quality in Gere''s ability to discovr links, connections, and underlying meanings in a dazzling array of aechaeological, literary, and artistic works as well as between past, present, and future."Nicoletta Momigliano, Bryn Mawr Classical Review, "[A] brilliant study of the role of Knossos in twentieth-century culture. . . . Gere writes with clarity and wit, but she never sacrifices the fascinating complexity of her tale to a simple story line."Mary Beard, New York Review of Books, "Fascinating and consistently entertaining. . . . It is a tribute to the wit and clarity of Gere's style that she is able to explain all this without making the reader's brain ache."--Tom Holland, Times Literary Supplement, "Cathy Gere writes with verve and clarity, and with Knossos and the Prophets of Modernism she offers a surprising juxtaposition of individual personalities and themes that gives us a new way of thinking about the cultural origins of some of the most interesting aspects of modern culture."<Robert Nye, Oregon State University, "Cathy Gere re-creates a century of bizarre misreadings of the nearly unknown ancient culture of Crete, and in doing so has produced that rarest of literary surprises: a genuinely hilarious work of Minoan historiography. . . . Gere tells some outlandish stories, but she never makes the protagonists themselves ridiculous."Benjamin Moser, Harper''s, "This is a simply wonderful book, expertly researched, written with panache, and consistently eye-opening.

And she does so brilliantly."-- Library Journal, "This is a wonderful, important, elegant, and well-written book.
