Originally published in the UK in 1961 this was an unconventional book when first published but a powerful interpretation of Greek individualism. The author examines the influence of the Greeks on European philosophy, religion, literature, art and architecture and challenges many commonly held assumptions: ‘Those items in the Greek legacy which are most easily recognizable as such are in fact the least important.’

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1914 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VII MENTAL REACTIONS "The laws of moral nature answer to those of matter as face to face in a glass . . . "The axioms of physics translate the laws of ethics. Thus: Reaction is equal to action." Emerson. IN the formulation of a new theory, child of one's own brain, one is confronted with many difficulties, not the least among them being that of making intelligible the language with which it has spoken at birth; a language quite clear to its parent, rendered so by the absence of any necessity for actual utterance, and above all for the reason that one has lived with it from its birth and become familiar with its every expression. The theory enunciated in the following chapters is the result of five years' work, during which every step was proved, not only in my own experience, but in that of many others. It is offered because it is a conviction-- drawn from ideas, practice, experience and realisation. The reflex action of physical movement upon the brain is not yet generally recognised, although the admitted relation between muscle and mind has been proved by the latest method of training a mentally deficient child through motor culture to intellectual. But I have gone farther, by proving that the principle may be applied in more elaborate form to the normal child, also to the adult, with the certainty of being able to produce a higher stage of mental development. The individual powers are increased to their maximum, and great change in degree may become change in kind. The link between the two organisations is Tension, which, while connecting the chain of physical processes with that of the mental, is allied to both. This merging of the organisations is only possible when the degree of sensitiveness to which the nervous and...

Women Writing Greece explores images of modern Greece by women who experienced the country as travellers, writers, and scholars, or who journeyed there through the imagination. The essays assembled here consider women's travel narratives, memoirs and novels, ranging from the eighteenth to the late twentieth century, focusing on the role of gender in travel and cross-cultural mediation and challenging stereotypical views of 'the Greek journey', traditionally seen as an antiquarian or Byronic pursuit. This collection aims to cast new light on women's participation in the discourses of Hellenism and Orientalism, examining their ideological rendering of Greece as at once a luminous land and a site crossed by contradictory cultural memories. Arranged chronologically, the essays discuss encounters with Greece by, among others, Lady Elizabeth Craven, Lady Hester Stanhope, Lady Montagu, Lady Morgan, Mary Shelley, Felicia Skene, Emily Pfeiffer, Eva Palmer, Jane Ellen Harrison, Virginia Woolf, Ethel Smyth, Christa Wolf, Penelope Storace and Gillian Bouras, and analyse them through a variety of critical, historical, contextual and theoretical frames.
