“Be awesome! Be a book nut!” –Dr. Seuss
Synopsis
This collection of essays celebrates British scholarly achievements in Crete, from the early British pilgrims and travellers to the island, to the work of the first antiquarians and archaeologists. Seven essays focus on key figures and events from pre-1900, 1900-1914, during the First and Second World Wars, 1945-1990 and the present and future of exploration on Crete. Subsequent contributions take a more thematic approach, discussing the Neolithic and Bronze Ages, Linear A and B, Minoan religion, Greek, Hellenistic and Roman Crete, Byzantine and Arab Crete and the role of the British School at Knossos.
