Richard Neer’s latest book, Greek Art and Archaeology: A New History, c. 2500–c. 150 BCE, takes a refreshingly contemporary approach to the study of ancient Greek material culture. As the title suggests, the textbook surveys over two millennia of Greek history, from the Bronze Age to the Hellenistic period. While the purview is hardly unique, Neer aims to present a “new history” of the discipline through his broad, inclusive understanding of the Greek world and the significance of its artistic production.
