Download or read book Wild Colonial Greeks written by Peter Prineas and published by Arcadia, the general books. This book was released on 2020 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wild Colonial Greeks is an engaging account of the Greeks who landed on Australian shores in colonial times. It shows how Greeks were viewed by the mainstream press and chronicles their fortunes in a foreign land. The book brings to life men like the goldfields doctor Spiridion Candiottis, who clashed resoundingly with newspapermen in Victoria and Queensland, and the hotelier Andreas Lagogiannis, who fought in vain against the forces of authority and temperance in 19th century Melbourne. This book also tells the little-known stories of Greeks whose lives were ended by Aboriginal spears and nullah nullahs on the frontiers of settlement, of the diaspora Greek transported to Van Diemen's Land for robbing the British Museum, and of the young Ionian who served for two eventful years with the Native Mounted Police of Queensland. This intriguing contribution to Australian history pushes back the date of Greek settlement by a number of years.

Download or read book Wild Colonial Girl written by Lisa Colletta and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2006-08-15 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1960 publication of her first novel, The Country Girls, award-winning Irish writer Edna O'Brien has been both celebrated and maligned. Praised for her lyrical prose and vivid female characters and attacked for her frank treatment of sexuality and alleged sensationalism, O'Brien and her work seem always to spawn controversy, including the past banning in Ireland of several of her works. O'Brien's attention to "women's" concerns such as sex, romance, marriage, and childbirth has often relegated her to critical neglect at best and, at worst, outright contempt. This essay collection promises to be a long overdue critical reevaluation and exciting rediscovery of her oeuvre. Wild Colonial Girl situates O'Brien in Irish contexts that allow for an appraisal of her significant contribution to a specifically Irish women's literary tradition while attesting to the potency of writing against patriarchal conventions. Each chapter's clear and detailed readings of O'Brien's fiction build a convincing case for her literary, political, and cultural importance, providing an invaluable critical guide for an enriched appreciation of O'Brien and her work.

Download or read book Another way of being Greek written by Michela Costanzi and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research concerning the spread of Greeks in the Mediterranean has been characterised for the last 30 years by a persistent interest in the phenomena of hybridisation and cultural interaction. While paying tribute to the remarkable progresses in our knowledge of the 'colonial worlds', this volume offers a different approach of the exchanges that distinguished these societies. Our interest further embraces the activities and innovations of the Greeks in the colonial milieu, be it by transforming their cultural heritage, by exploiting the resources they found where they settled, or by adapting their practices under the influence of other Greeks. By focusing on these exchanges, the authors question the place of local connections in the construction of regional cultures, and their original features.

This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Charicles or Illustrations of the Private Life of the Ancient Greeks The motto from Plutarch prefixed to Charicles, while it intimates the scope and object of the author, is an eloquent though brief argument for the utility of such a work. This description of the every-day pursuits and lighter occupations of the Greeks, this glimpse at their domestic scenes, and introduction, so to speak, to the interior of their dwellings, not only infuse additional zest into the student's survey of their life as a nation; but will also prove no mean auxiliary in estimating the motives and springs of their public actions as chronicled by the historian; pretty much on the same principle that we are prone to contemplate the doings of public men with more curious interest, should we happen also to enjoy their private personal acquaintance. The words of Böttiger respecting Rome admit of application here: 'We gain a correcter and deeper insight into the private life, a look, as it were, behind the postscenia of a people, whose public virtues and vices we are too apt to pronounce judgment on with reference solely to the universal history of the world and of nations.' The learned author here quoted, who for fifty years so successfully prosecuted his antiquarian and archæological researches, may be pronounced the originator of this species of antique domestic literature.

Download or read book Greek Colonisation written by G.R. Tsetskhladze and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-07-17 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2-volume handbook is dedicated to one of the most significant processes in the history of ancient Greece - colonisation. Greeks set up colonies and other settlements in new environments, establishing themselves in lands stretching from the Iberian Peninsula in the west to North Africa in the south and the Black Sea in the north east. In this colonial world Greek and local structures met, influenced and enriched each other. The handbook brings together historians and archaeologists, all world experts, to present the latest ideas and evidence. The principal aim is to present and update the general picture of this phenomenon, showing its importance in the history of the whole ancient world, including the Near East. The work is dedicated to Prof. A.J. Graham. This first volume gives a lengthy introduction to the problem, including methodological and theoretical issues. The chapters cover Mycenaean expansion, Phoenician and Phocaean colonisation, Greeks in the western Mediterranean, Syria, Egypt and southern Anatolia, etc. The volume is richly illustrated.
Download or read book East Greek Pottery written by Robert Manuel Cook and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: East Greek Pottery provides a comprehensive survey of the pottery made by the Greek settlers along the western coast of Turkey. The various styles of decoration described cover the period from the eleventh century to the beginning of the fifth century B.C. Subsequently, competition from Athens pressed local potters into using very simple ornament. Chapters include analysis of Grey ware, relief ware and archaic East Greek containers (or trade) amphorae, a class of pottery which is now attracting attention for its contribution to the study of ancient economic history. East Greek pottery is a field that has been neglected, and much remains uncertain. Conjecture and fact have been clearly distinguished in this volume, and detailed references allow the evidence to be viewed and judged by the reader.
