Sofia Voutsaki is Professor of Greek Archaeology at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands. Paul Cartledge is A.G. Leventis Senior Research Fellow of Clare College, Cambridge, and A.G. Leventis Professor of Greek Culture, emeritus, University of Cambridge, UK."Ancient Monuments and Modern Identities is a valuable work for academics and students of classical archaeology, providing a nuanced and multifaceted investigation of the use and impact of Greek archaeology on modern and contemporary European identity. The volume manages to be at once pleasant to read, historically informative, and critically elucidating, without overbearing or heavy-handed authorial perspectives on the processes investigated... this volume is diverse and nuanced, broad and considered. The authors are all distinctive, but all treat their subject matters with a deft and insightful touch, bearing in mind both the abstract considerations of the subject matter and the human relevance of the discourse. The volume is thought-provoking and insightful, and will well serve any scholar or student interested in the human implications of their scholarship." - Journal of Eastern Mediterranean Archaeology and Heritage Studies
