Charis: Essays in Honor of Sara A Immerwahr

edited by Anne P Chapin

This tribute to Professor Sara Immerwahr comprises a short biography, her full bibliography, and twenty articles written by fellow scholars celebrating her contributions to the field of Bronze Age painting and art history, as well as her encouragement and generous support of her students and colleagues over many years. Thirteen Bronze Age scholars present papers that address aspects of social, political, religious, and ritual significance in wall paintings, matters of chronology, regional trade and interaction, and Cretan architecture. Seven scholars of the Archaic, Classical and Roman periods explore issues in sculpture, architecture, pottery, and dedications. 440p 117 b/w illus., (Hesperia Supplement 33, American School of Classical Studies at Athens 2004)
