Heinrich Schliemann has been the subject of biographies since his death. Almost all of them, however, suffer from an uncritical use of Schliemann's own numerous autobiographies and only rarely use archival sources such as diaries and letters. As a consequence, most tend to be glowing and appreciative but very uncritical. This engaging extended essay offers a more critical appreciation of Schliemann's own work and later studies of it. The author is Professor of Archaeology at Boston University and recently co-authored Greece Before History, an archaeological companion and guide published by Stanford UP. 100p (Archaeological Institute of America, 2002)
