About the Author
Jane Ellen Harrison (9 September 1850 – 15 April 1928) was a British classical scholar, linguist and feminist. Harrison is one of the founders, with Karl Kerenyi and Walter Burkert, of modern studies in Greek mythology. She applied 19th century archaeological discoveries to the interpretation of Greek religion in ways that have become standard. Contemporary classics scholar Mary Beard, Harrison's biographer, has described her as "in a way ... [Britain's] first female professional 'career academic'". Ellen Wordsworth Crofts, later second wife of Sir Francis Darwin was Jane Harrison's best friend from her student days at Newnham, and during the period from 1898 to her early death in 1903.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Ancient Art and Ritual is a book written by Jane Ellen Harrison, an English classical scholar and linguist. The book explores the relationship between ancient art and ritual, specifically in ancient Greece. Harrison argues that art and ritual are interdependent, as art is used to express and reinforce ritual practices. The book is divided into six chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of ancient art and ritual. The first chapter discusses the origins of art and ritual in ancient Greece, while the second chapter explores the role of art in religious rituals. The third chapter examines the connection between art and myth, and how art was used to depict mythological stories. The fourth chapter delves into the symbolism of ancient art, particularly in relation to fertility and death. The fifth chapter explores the use of dance and music in ancient Greek rituals, and how they were used to create a sense of community and connection. Finally, the sixth chapter discusses the decline of ancient Greek art and ritual, and the impact of Christianity on these practices.Overall, Ancient Art and Ritual is a comprehensive exploration of the relationship between art and ritual in ancient Greece. Harrison's insights and analysis provide a valuable perspective on the significance of art in ancient cultures and its enduring influence on modern art and culture.1913.
