Industry Reviews
"Since it seems intended...to serve as a textbook, substantial portion of the text is devoted to the practical requirement of conveying straightforward factual information, a task that Boardman carries out in a clear, learned, thorough and often entertaining way. Once this didactic obligation is fulfilled, however, and Boardman turns his attention to problems and controversies in the study of ancient Greek pottery, THE HISTORY OF GREEK VASES takes on a more personal tone....In short, behind the textbookish facade...the reader encounters the spirit and the ideas of an innovative traditionalist whose challenges to both revisionist and conventional views about ancient Greek pottery will probably be targets for both praise and resistance for years to come."
