Summary "The Glory That Was Greece: A Survey of Hellenic Culture and Civilisation" by J. C. Stobart is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the richness and complexity of ancient Greek culture, aiming to present a vivid picture of its art, thought, social life, and institutions. Stobart's work also discusses the connections between prehistoric Greek civilization and the later classical periods to emphasize the enduring impact of Hellenic culture on Western civilization. The opening of this work begins by discussing the challenges faced by modern scholars in understanding Greek history due to the specialization within classical studies. Stobart introduces the idea of using an individual perspective to compile a comprehensive view of Greek culture, rather than getting lost in extensive details that often obscure the broader picture. He expresses a deep love for Greece and Hellenic culture, noting that Greek language, while fading in education, should not diminish the appreciation of Greek history and art. Stobart sets the stage for further discussions on various aspects of Greek civilization, including its geography, art, philosophical contributions, and significant cultural milestones that shaped the ancient world.
