21st Annual Runciman Lecture,Thursday 2 February 2012, Great Hall, Strand Campus, 18.00
Looking at the Athenian Acropilis: from modern times to antiquity
Speaker: William St Clair
William St Clair will discuss the ways in which the Acropolis has historically been interpreted by three main constituencies, the people of Athens, visitors from abroad, and those who only saw Athens in their imaginations with the help of pictures. Beginning in modern times when current viewing conventions were invented, and going back through chronological layers, he suggests how his approach can improve our understanding of how the Acropolis was understood in antiquity.
