Trained in Italy, Greece, and the United States, the author has taught
for over 35 years at Bryn Mawr College, and at other universities in the
U.S. and abroad, receiving the Gold Medal of the Archaeological
Institute of America for Distinguished Achievement. A pupil of Rhys
Carpenter, she has devoted all her writing to Greek sculpture. The
articles in this volume were selected from over 95 studies she has
published. In addition, her books have surveyed the entire span of Greek
sculpture from the Archaic to the Late Hellenistic period. The articles
are here presented in the chronological order in which they first
appeared, to document Profesor Ridgway's evolving views on the history
of Greek sculpture. Preference has been given to those that were
published in foreign journals and honorary volumes; two have been
translated from the original Italian and one from French. Notes at the
end of the book update all the studies.
