Description
World Antiquarianism: Comparative Perspectives explores the global phenomenon of antiquarianism, tracing its roots in ancient Near Eastern societies and examining its development in early modern Europe and East Asia. The book also delves into its presence in non-literate societies of Melanesia and Polynesia.
This comparative study reveals the universality of antiquarianism as a reflection of human curiosity about the past, shedding new light on how ancient societies represented their heritage and how this practice continues to influence our understanding of history today.
