Guide to Research in Classical Art and Mythology

Learning to use the research tools to unravel the intricate terminology of classification of antiquities is a formidable task. Van Keuren's work aims to enable students both to use these tools and to devise projects for their own research. After a major reference is presented, handbooks and monographs are successively identified in ways that suggest patterns of information. These patterns will allow students to formulate hypotheses to undertake original research. With use of the library collection, original questions can be asked and answered. The entries are presented in three parts, each representing an art form. Part One includes the most general references on Greek, Etruscan and Roman art and architecture. Part Two describes references dealing with mythology in art and literature of antiquity and post-classical times. Part Three concentrates on references that consider particular media of ancient art. Each entry is broken down into seven parts - art form, research use, organization, complementary references, handbooks, supplementary sources, and additional supplementary sources
