In tribute to archaeology and art authority Sir John Boardman, approximately 40 doctoral students, colleagues and friends (many of them now leading academics in their own right) have contributed papers on topics close to Boardman's heart. The volume's title is intended to conjure up, through its connotations with the concept of circumnavigation, something of the sense of excitement associated with a voyage of discovery, as experienced personally by his former students. Includes a list of Boardman's own publications, from 1952 to the present, and 187 b&w illustrations. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
The idea of circumnavigation suggested by the title of this volume of essays presented to one of the world's leading Classical archaeologists conjures up the sense of excitement associated with a voyage of discovery. Over forty friends and former doctoral students whose work was supervised by John Boardman during his time as Lincoln Professor of Classical Archaeology and Art at Oxford University (1978-1994) have contributed essays on topics close to his heart. Now holding academic posts worldwide, they all recall with pleasure the enthusiasm and encouragement of their former teacher, whose range of publications on the art of ancient Greece is second to none. John Boardman has been widely honored for his original contributions to the field of scholarship. Now officially retired, he still maintains a lively interest in all new developments in his chosen field.
