Since the publication of Eliza May Butler's Tyranny of Greece over Germany in 1935, the obsession of the German educated elite with the ancient Greeks has become an accepted, if severely underanalyzed, cliché. In Down from Olympus, Suzanne Marchand attempts to come to grips with German Graecophilia, not as a private passion but as an institutionally generated and preserved cultural trope. The book argues that nineteenth-century philhellenes inherited both an elitist, normative aesthetics and an ascetic, scholarly ethos from their Romantic predecessors; German "neohumanists" promised to reconcile these intellectual commitments, and by so doing, to revitalize education and the arts. Focusing on the history of classical archaeology, Marchand shows how the injunction to imitate Greek art was made the basis for new, state-funded cultural institutions. Tracing interactions between scholars and policymakers that made possible grand-scale cultural feats like the acquisition of the Pergamum Altar, she underscores both the gains in specialized knowledge and the failures in social responsibility that were the distinctive products of German neohumanism.

This book discusses intellectual and institutional aspects of archaeology and philhellenism, giving extensive treatment to the history of prehistorical archaeology and German "orientalism." Marchand traces the history of the study, excavation, and exhibition of Greek art as a means to confront the social, cultural, and political consequences of the specialization of scholarship in the last two centuries.

This book should be read by everyone who has the least interest in how German Philhellenism grew from the late eighteenth century cultured bourgeois (Bildungsbuergertum) neohumanism into an unparalleled obsession for Hellas. Marchand writes beautifully, intelligently, and insightfully. Every page is worth reading over and over. I had to read it slowly because Marchand writes so wonderfully that every detail comes alive in her presentation. I thought I might miss something. She truly loves her subject matter and imparts that joy to her readers. I cannot recommend this work highly enough.

Starting with an overview of the idea of Philhellinism as embodied in neohumanism and the poetry of Schiller, she demonstrates how philology and archeology were developed in the same cradle of idealism. She traces the history of this development by drawing on peculiarly German cultural moments that English readers rarely comprehend because of language barriers. This is not just a study for students of German history. Marchand has made a particular aspect of German history and culture accsesible to those who cannot read German.

This book is great for students of cultural history, philosophy, sculpture, archeology, and philology (to name but a few who may benefit from her work). I recommend this book together with George S. Williamson's newly released The Longing for Myth in Germany which seems to fold nicely together and develop along similar lines.

This book should be on every scholar's bookshelf, no question about it!
