The Bronze Age of Europe is a crucial formative period that
underlay the civilisations of Greece and Rome, fundamental to our
own modern civilisation. A systematic description of it appeared in
2013, but this work offers a series of personal studies of aspects
of the period by one of its best known practitioners. The book is
based on the idea that different aspects of the Bronze Age can be
studied as a series of "lives": the life of people and peoples, of
objects, of places, and of societies. Each of these is taken in
turn and a range of aspects presented that offer interesting
insights into the period. These are based on recent research (for
instance on the genetic history of the Old World) as well as on
fundamental earlier studies. In addition, there is a consideration
of the history of Bronze Age studies, the "life of the Bronze Age".
The book provides a novel approach to the Bronze Age based on the
personal interests of a well-known Bronze Age scholar. It offers
insights into a period that students of other aspects of the
ancient world, as well as Bronze Age specialists and general
readers, will find interesting and stimulating.
