HUMPHREYS, S.C., The Family, Women and Death. Comparative studies. University of Michigan Press, Ann Arbor, 1993. 2nd (rev. and enlarged) ed. LII,220p. Cloth. Lower corners bit bumped. On the publication of the first edition K.J. Dover wrote: 'Allthough the chapters of this books were originally composed for different occasions, collectively they have a discernible core, the relation between oikos and polis: the opposition of 'private' to 'public' life, the treatment of women by men, and the roles of family and city in funerals and tombs, are three aspects of that relation, and funerals lead on to other aspects of death. (...) The book is full of suggestive and illuminating obiter dicta. (...) If we are interested in how individuals live their way through the circumstances into which they are born, generalisation about (e.g.) the status of women in law needs to be taken in conjunction with utterances which betray how a man reconciles adoration of his mother and obedience to his grandmother with insulting his wife and bullying his daughter. H.'s remarks (p.74) on the 'semantics of social interaction' in drama are pertinent, and lead us in one direction (there are many others) to studies of the language of New Comedy, exemplified by Sandbach's paper in Entretiens de la Fondation Hardt 16 (1969, 113-43). (K.J. DOVER in The Classical Review (New Series), 1984, pp.342-43). From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott. € 45.00 (Antiquarian)

A few pen and pencil markings and annotations. The first section of the book deals with the history of the relationship of classical studies and anthropology. In the second section the more material aspects of ancient Greek life are considered and the author relates the economic history of the period to new approaches in archaeology and economic anthropology. The place of kinship in the social structure of the Greek city-state; the social factors involved in the genesis of Greek philosophy; and the structural and institutional components of 'freedom' in classical Athens are all examined.
