In Down from Olympus, Suzanne Marchand attempts to come to grips with German Graecophilia, not as a private passion but as an institutionally generated and preserved cultural trope. The book argues that nineteenth-century philhellenes inherited both an elitist, normative aesthetics and an ascetic, scholarly ethos from their Romantic predecessors; German "neohumanists" promised to reconcile these intellectual commitments, and by so doing, to revitalize education and the arts. Focusing on the history of classical archaeology, Marchand shows how the injunction to imitate Greek art was made the basis for new, state-funded cultural institutions. Tracing interactions between scholars and policymakers that made possible grand-scale cultural feats like the acquisition of the Pergamum Altar, she underscores both the gains in specialized knowledge and the failures in social responsibility that were the distinctive products of German neohumanism.This book discusses intellectual and institutional aspects of archaeology and philhellenism, giving extensive treatment to the history of prehistorical archaeology and German "orientalism." Marchand traces the history of the study, excavation, and exhibition of Greek art as a means to confront the social, cultural, and political consequences of the specialization of scholarship in the last two centuries.ACLS Fellows’ publications.ACLS Humanities E-Book.Neoclassicism (Art)fast(OCoLC)fst01035771Intellectual lifefast(OCoLC)fst00975769Enlightenmentfast(OCoLC)fst00912527Civilization, Classicalfast(OCoLC)fst00862996Art, GreekInfluencefast(OCoLC)fst00816349Archaeologyfast(OCoLC)fst00812938Civilisation ancienneNeoclassicisme (Art)Siecle des lumieresArcheologieCivilization, ClassicalNeoclassicism (Art)GermanyArt, GreekInfluenceEnlightenmentGermanyArchaeologyGermanyHistoryGermanyfastAllemagneVie intellectuelle20e siecleAllemagneVie intellectuelle19e siecleAllemagneVie intellectuelle18e siecleGermanyIntellectual life20th centuryGermanyIntellectual life19th centuryGermanyIntellectual life18th centuryLivres numeriques.History.Electronic books.Althoff, Friedrich.Aristotle.Bersu, Gerhard.Bildung.Brunn, Heinrich.Catholicism.Delbriick, Richard.Djemal Pasha.Dorpfeld, Wilhelm.Egyptology.Freytag, Hermann.George, Stefan.Gerhard, Eduard.Gymnasium.Hamdi Edhem.Herder, J.
