| Meer info | 'Starr has the ability to generalize without losing sight of the particular. (...) He keeps a balance between political, cultural, social, and economic factors, and is always aware of political activity as an expression of deeper forces. The result is a narrative remarkably modern in approach and detail, which yet avoids ephemeral fashions. (...) In an introductory survey the bibliographies are at least as important as the text. (...) Starr's narrative is held together by a series of cognate ideas. The chief is progress: the story is one of relentless advance to a better world.(...) In art and culture the achievements of each people are lovingly recorded, but seldom the oppression that produced them, or the periods of stagnation. Optimism becomes an historical virtue.' OSWYN MURRAY in The Classical Review (New Series), 1966, pp.379-80). |
