In Western Ways, for the first time, the "foreign schools" in Rome
and Athens, institutions dealing primarily with classical
archaeology and art history, are discussed in historical terms as
vehicles and figureheads of national scholarship. By emphasising
the agency and role of individuals in relation to structures and
tradition, the book shows how much may be gained by examining
science and politics as two sides of the same coin. It sheds light
on the scholarly organisation of foreign schools, and through them,
on the organisation of classical archaeology and classical studies
around the Mediterranean. With its breadth and depth of archival
resources, Western Ways offers new perspectives on funding,
national prestige and international collaboration in the world of
scholarship, and places the foreign schools in a framework of
nineteenth and twentieth century Italian and Greek history.
