Description
In this synthesis of political and socio-economic history, the author demonstrates that citizenship for the Athenians was not a legal construct, but rather a complex concept that was both an institution and a mode of social behaviour. He further shows that it was not static, as most scholarship has assumed, but rather has slowly evolved over time. The work is also an explanation of the origins and development of the "polis".
