Beskrivning
This new collection presents a rich selection of innovative scholarship on the Etruscans, a vibrant, independent people whose distinct civilization flourished in central Italy for most of the first millennium BCE and whose artistic, social and cultural traditions helped shape the ancient Mediterranean, European, and Classical worlds. Includes contributions from an international cast of both established and emerging scholarsOffers fresh perspectives on Etruscan art and culture, including analysis of the most up-to-date research and archaeological discoveriesReassesses and evaluates traditional topics like architecture, wall painting, ceramics, and sculpture as well as new ones such as textile archaeology, while also addressing themes that have yet to be thoroughly investigated in the scholarship, such as the obesus etruscus, the function and use of jewelry at different life stages, Greek and Roman topoi about the Etruscans, the Etruscans’ reception of ponderation, and moreCounters the claim that the Etruscans were culturally inferior to the Greeks and Romans by emphasizing fields where the Etruscans were either technological or artistic pioneers and by reframing similarities in style and iconography as examples of Etruscan agency and reception rather than as a deficit of local creativity

"This collection of fascinating articles written by specialists in the field has a given place in libraries. ... As can be expected, each chapter in this Companion makes an important contribution to our knowledge of the Etruscans, and depending on our interests we can choose among the topics covered, ranging from landscape to settlements to art and culture. ... My own favorite topics were the chapters on Tanaquil (by Gretchen Meyers), on obesus Etruscus (by Jean MacIntosh Turfa), and on Etruscan forgeries (by Richard De Puma), because they figure prominently in all general accounts on the Etruscans but are rarely, if ever, discussed separately and in more detail." - Etruscan Studies“…this volume represents a significant effort to bring together new work and novel approaches on the Etruscans. Although prior knowledge of the main issues in Etruscan studies is recommended, the book’s format makes it accessible to a broad audience as well. It would be a welcome addition to any Classics and archaeology libraries and will become undoubtedly a source of inspiration for scholars and students with interest in Etruria.”- Bryn Mawr Classical Review"As a whole, A Companion to the Etruscans presents a well-assembled and well-edited collection of essays on the current state of research in Etruscan studies. Ungraduates, graduate students, and specialists alike will find it to be an important resource ... institutional libraries will want this indispensable English-language guide on the shelves." Laurel Taylor, American Journal of Archaeology
