A journey around Greece reflected in the words of writers, journalists and poets from all places and periods. "Travellers, poets, artists, even scholars, still go to Greece in search of something they feel that no land quite offers them. Partly no doubt this is a by-product of the enormous prestige the world of ancient Greece acquired subsequent to the Renaissance; partly, too, it is due to the sheer physical beauty with which Greece presents one at practically every step. For Philip Sherrard the enigma of Greece was virtually a lifelong preoccupation. In this anthology he explores its various aspects through the writings of those who over the centuries have found in Greece not simply an object of study or a romantic haven but a challenge, an incitement and a reciprocity that have stirred the wellsprings of both heart and imagination".291p. plates. bibliography. index..
