Description: M. I. Finley by Daniel Jew, Robin Osborne, Michael Scott Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This definitive assessment of the most famous twentieth-century ancient historian engages with his impact beyond as well as within the academy, analysing the means and nature of his impact, and telling how a scholar expelled from the United States for communist links became a part of the British establishment. Publisher Description M. I. Finley (1912–86) was the most famous ancient historian of his generation. He was admired by his peers, and was Professor of Ancient History at the University of Cambridge and Fellow of the British Academy. His unmistakable voice was familiar to tens of thousands of radio listeners, his polemical reviews and other journalism were found all over the broadsheets and weeklies, and his scholarly as well as his popular works sold in very large numbers as Penguin paperbacks. Yet this was also a man dismissed from his job at Rutgers University when he refused to answer the question of whether he was or had ever been a member of the Communist Party. This pioneering volume assesses Finleys achievements and analyses the nature of the impact of this charismatic individual and the means by which he changed the world of ancient history.
