Book excerpt: THE title of this book may strike the reader as strange and even dissonant. What haveart and ritual to do together? The ritualist is, to the modern mind, a man concernedperhaps unduly with fixed forms and ceremonies, with carrying out the rigidly prescribedordinances of a church or sect. The artist, on the other hand, we think of as free inthought and untrammelled by convention in practice; his tendency is towards licence.Art and ritual, it is quite true, have diverged to-day; but the title of this book is chosenadvisedly. Its object is to show that these two divergent developments have a commonroot, and that neither can be understood without the other. It is at the outset one and thesame impulse that sends a man to church and to the theatre.Such a statement may sound to-day paradoxical, even irreverent. But to the Greek ofthe sixth, fifth, and even fourth century B.C., it would have been a simple truism. Weshall see this best by following an Athenian to his theatre, on the day of the great SpringFestival of Dionysos.

Download or read book Ancient Art and Ritual written by Jane Ellen Harrison and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancient Art and Ritual It may be well at the outset to say clearly what is the aim of the present volume. The title is Ancient Art and Ritual but the reader will find in it no general summary or even outline of the facts of either ancient art or ancient ritual. These facts are easily accessible in handbooks. The point of my title and the real gist of my argument lie perhaps in the word "and" - that is, in the intimate connection which I have tried to show exists between ritual and art. This connection has, I believe, an important bearing on questions vital to-day, as, for example, the question of the place of art in our modern civilization, its relation to and its difference from religion and morality; in a word, on the whole enquiry as to what the nature of art is and how it can help or hinder spiritual life. I have taken Greek drama as a typical instance, because in it we have the clear historical case of a great art, which arose out of a very primitive and almost worldwide ritual.

Download or read book Ancient Art and Ritual written by Jane Ellen Harrison and published by . This book was released on 2011-12-07 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ancient Art and Ritual"Jane Ellen Harrison (September 9, 1850 - April 5, 1928) was a ground-breaking British classical scholar, linguist and feminist. Harrison is one of the founders, with Karl Kerenyi and Walter Burkert, of modern studies in Greek mythology. She applied 19th century archaeological discoveries to the interpretation of Greek religion in ways that have become standard.Harrison was born in Yorkshire, England and first received tutelage under family governesses in subjects such as the many languages Harrison learned: initially German, Latin, Greek and Hebrew, later expanded to about sixteen languages, including Russian. Harrison spent most of her professional life at Newnham, the progressive, recently-established college for women at Cambridge. She knew Edward Burne-Jones and Walter Pater, and moved in the Bloomsbury group, with Virginia Woolf (who was one of Harrison's close friends and looked to her as a mentor), Lytton Strachey, Clive Bell and Roger Fry. With Gilbert Murray, F. M. Cornford, and A. B. Cook, she was inspired to apply anthropology and ethnography to the study of classical art and ritual. Harrison and this later group of people have become known as Cambridge Ritualists." (Quote from wikipedia.org)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Centaurs in Ancient Art: The Archaic Period As to the decorative border at each end of the cylinder, Clay says: This seems to be a characteristic feature of the seals of the Cassite period. Dr. W. H. Ward has suggested that the seal had a thin metal 0 cap, presumably of gold, upon which the border was cut. It would be mere speculation to suppose that because the centaur is found on Cassite monuments, it was originated by the Cassites. All we can say is that they _knew the centaur as early as 1350 The Hittites, I am convinced, have a better claim than the Cassites to the invention of the combination between horse and man.

These statements refer to art under the Romans at the time of the republic. Those relating to it between the point at which I here stop and the fall of Roman freedom will be found in the second part, because they are more intermixed with Greek history. They have this value at least that, if any one should wish to pursue them more at length, they will save him a portion of the labor which is occasioned by reading the ancient authors with so much care and with reference to the succession of events.
