Sicily : Heritage Of The World
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
The island of Sicily from ancient times to the present day has been a hub of migration and settlement. Following the British Museum's critically acclaimed 2016 exhibition "Sicily: culture and conquest", this volume considers the history and material culture of the different peoples occupying Sicily at key points in the island's history. Part I concentrates on ancient Sicily during the time of Greek settlement, exploring themes such as the creation of urban centres and the production of Sicilian terracotta between the 5th and 4th centuries BC. In Part II, the focus shifts to the Middle Ages, Sicily's period of enlightenment under Muslim and Norman rules, with key themes including Norman identity and the use of the Norman legacy in the 19th century. With new insights into the economy, architecture and social identity of the island and including research on recently excavated sites this is a rich collection of essays providing a comprehensive overview of the island's unique identity and its significance in a wider Mediterranean context.
