| Review |
"The School of History provides detailed intellectual and political history of Athens during the late fifth century B.C.E. as it examines the background, the context, and the decisive events shaping this society in the throes of war. This narrative ultimately leads to a new understanding of Athenian democratic culture, showing why and how it yielded such extraordinary intellectual productivity."--Jacket. |
