'Well-planned, written in a lively manner ... observations are un-hackneyed and many of the terse summations truly brilliant ... an intelligent, challenging, informative introduction to the classical arts.' George M. A. Hanfmann, Harvard University 'The brevity of treatment is more than compensated for by the author's stimulating presentation.' Mark Morford, The Classical Outlook '... the author has infused new book into the old veins ...The choice and arrangement of the pictures serves the text perfectly ... A must for the school library where it is likely to be a popular choice for borrowing.' Brian Sparkes, Greece and Rome 'The quality if the illustrations is excellent ... The chief joy of this book is Woodford's lucid style and refreshingly down to earth vocabulary ... teachers can recommend this book as a readable introduction to classical art to sixth formers and university students.' Joint Association of Classical Teachers 'For students approaching the art of the classical world for the first time, Woodford provides a survey that is lucid, coherent, and informative. ... For those of us who teach surveys in the humanities, the paperbound version of the book is accessible and affordable.' Bryn Mawr Classical Review
