Description: The Cyclades, or Life Among the Insular Greeks by J. Theodore Bent, Gerald Brisch Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Described as a spirited, sometimes quirky, narrative of the ups and downs of simple travel in the Greek islands.. in the late nineteenth century, this book is a personal account of two tours made by J Theodore Bent and his wife around the Greek islands between 1882 and 1884. Publisher Description J.T. Bent (1852-1897) was an Oxford-educated archaeologist, historian and explorer who dedicated his short life to researches in the Levant and Africa. In the winters of 1882-84 he and his wife, Mabel Hall-Dare, made extended tours of the Cycladic islands and in 1885 Bent published what has become a classic account of their wanderings and discoveries in what is now one of the best-loved regions of Greece. His island-by-island journals are a fascinating insight into Greek community living at the turn of the 19th century, and the work established Bent as a traveller of note. As might be expected, most of the major sites and sights are detailed, as well as references to customs and costumes, hospitality and hardship, history, folklore and myth. No account in English, then or since, has come close in terms of scope and achievement. (On a scholarly level, Bent was the first English archaeologist to undertake serious excavation work in the region and his findings on the small island of Antiparos (included here) are still referred to in current bibliographies.) As far as the publishers are aware, no English language edition of Bents Cyclades is currently easily available.This new and complete edition of Bents 1885 work is accompanied by a new biographical introduction and a series of notes including route-planner, and historical and archaeological summaries. Author Biography J. Theodore Bent was a travel writer and explorer. Among his other works are "The Sacred City of the Ethiopians" and "Ruined Cities of Mashonaland-Zimbabwe."
