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 Finley's
achievements and analyses the nature of the impact of this
charismatic individual and the means by which he changed the world
of ancient history.
