Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The classical world has for centuries influenced and inspired the west — its poetry and literature, art, architecture — but what provoked the move from the west’s love-affair with classical Rome and its manifestation in the Renaissance, to its focus on the Hellenic world? The decisive shift in focus and taste from Rome to Greece in the eighteenth century began in the 17th century, when a succession of travellers — mainly from France and England — journeyed to Greece and what is now Turkey and rediscovered the Hellenic world. "In the Footsteps of the Gods" traces the ways in which the constantly changing ideal image of ancient Greece, its art and culture, inspired those who travelled there. With lively accounts of their adventurous journeys and vivid descriptions of what they saw, discovered, collected and published about the remains of ancient Greece, it reveals the extraordinary effects that these travellers’ account had on the poets and scholars of the west, who in turn were influential in creating the idea and ideal of Greece, which became such a powerful force in the arts and politics of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. At the heart of the book is, in the words of Richard Stoneman, "a poet’s vision of Greece."    The book traces the ways in which the constantly changing ideal image of ancient Greece, its art, politics and culture, inspired those who travelled there. At the heart of the book is, in the words of the classicist, Richard Stoneman, 'a poet's vision of Greece'.
