Politics and the Street in Democratic Athens. - GOTTESMAN, A.,
KORTE INHOUD
'The main challenge of this volume - that we acknowledge the politicking that occurred outside of Athenian institutions, even if the dynamics and details of those exchanges are even more obscure than the institutional debates they shaped - is a worthy one.Throughout this volume Gottesman remains very sensitive to the limitations of his evidence and its interpretation, whether he is reading Aeschylean tragedy or fragmentary third-century inscriptions; although they are merely ?glimpses? of the Street, together his individual sources provide an outlook on the Athenian experience that demands additional study. (...) Although Gottesman suggests that the preponderance of elite literary texts means that ?[w]e cannot access the Street directly?, the line of inquiry he sets out leads not into a cul-de-sac but rather down a broad boulevard that will reward our further exploration.' (BENJAMIN KEIM in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2015.04.40).
