Published shortly after Schliemann’s discovery of Troy in 1871, this volume reflects the scientific controversy surrounding the accuracy of his identification. The first account presents the arguments in favor of, and against, the competing proposed sites of Troy. The second account, by Charles Perrot, is a detailed travel narrative in Asia Minor,based on his journey through Troy and the valley of the Meander in 1856 in first edition. A scarce pair of early scholarly contributions to the debate on Troy and Asia Minor, printed in a very limited run.
