Book Title: Athenian Democratic Origins: and other essays Book Author: G. E. M. de Ste. Croix, David Harvey, Robert Parker Hardcover: 472 pages Publisher: Oxford University Press (May 27, 2004) Language: English ISBN-10: 0199255172 ISBN-13: 978-0199255177 Book Description Publication Date: May 27, 2004 | ISBN-10: 0199255172 | ISBN-13: 978-0199255177 This is a defense of the Athenian democracy by a great radical historian. Geoffrey de Ste. Croix shows how even its oddest features made sense, and illustrates the different factors influencing Athenian politics--for instance, trade and commercial interests mattered very little. Though written in the 1960s, these hitherto unpublished essays remain fresh and innovative.  Reviews "No serious reader, converted or not, could emerge unimpressed by the sheer command of evidence and calibre of argument on display here."--Bryn Mawr Classical Review About the Author Geoffrey de Ste. Croix was Fellow and Tutor in Ancient History at New College, Oxford from 1953 until 1977. He was elected a Fellow of the British Academy in 1972. He published Origins of the Peloponnesian War in 1972 and The Class Struggle in the Ancient Greek World in 1981; the latter book was translated into Spanish and Greek, and won the Isaac Deutscher Memorial prize for 1982.
