• Sommario/riassunto: Le ampie pubblicazioni di George Grote (1794-1871) sulla storia e la filosofia dell'antica Grecia rimangono punti di riferimento nella storia della cultura classica. A partire dalla fine del XX secolo, il vivo interesse per le opere di Grote ha visto il suo profilo rivivere e il suo significato costante messo in luce: ha preso il suo posto legittimo tra i più celebrati intellettuali classici del XIX secolo. L'impegno critico di Grote con la storiografia e la filosofia greca ha rivoluzionato gli studi classici ai suoi tempi, una rivoluzione che si oppone sia alle interpretazioni consolidate che alle tendenze prevalenti nella Altertumswissenschaft tedesca. La cultura del XXI secolo mostra che le opere di Grote rimangono vivaci, scintillanti e pertinenti, poiché offrono preziose intuizioni che attraversano i confini intellettuali dell'età vittoriana. La sua diligente cultura, il fascino per le prove e il buon giudizio, intrecciati con una prosa narrativa intrigante e perspicace, continuano a catturare l'attenzione dei lettori moderni. Demetriou guida un team di eminenti studiosi per contestualizzare, svelare ed esplorare le opere di Grote, oltre a fornire una valutazione critica della sua eredità postuma.

• Sommario/riassunto: The Cambridge Primary Review Research Surveys is the outcome of the Cambridge Primary Review - England's biggest enquiry into primary education for over forty years.
