摘要

理查森这本143页的书对亚历山大·哈德卡斯尔(Alexander Hardcastle，伦敦，1872年-阿格里根托，1933年)的生活进行了有趣的描述。哈德卡斯尔是一位富有的英国赞助人和考古学家，在20世纪早期在西西里岛开展业务。赫歇尔和玛丽·索菲·哈德卡斯尔·赫歇尔的儿子，亚历山大在皇家海军服役，获得了全面的技术知识，他成功地在西西里使用了这些知识。1920年12月获得护照后，哈德卡斯尔搬到了吉尔根蒂(现在的阿格里托)，在那里他买了一所新房子，所谓的奥雷亚别墅，并拨出私人资金在附近的希腊神庙阿克拉加斯进行挖掘和大规模翻新工作。特别是，他在20世纪20年代修复了赫拉克勒斯神庙和德米特拉神庙的8根柱子，并挖掘了部分古城墙。报纸上的文章清楚地证明，他的活动在西西里和大不列颠引起了极大的轰动。

A Review of Passionate Patron: The Life of Alexander Hardcastle and the Greek Temples of Agrigento

Richardson’s 143-page book provides an interesting account on the life of Alexander Hardcastle (London, 1872 – Agrigento, 1933), a rich English patron and archaeologist, who operated in Sicily during the early twentieth century. Son of Hernt and Marie Sophie Hardcastle Herschel, Alexander took his military service in the Royal Navy, gaining a thorough technical knowledge, which he successfully used in Sicily. After he obtained a passport in December 1920, Hardcastle moved to Girgenti (now Agrigento), where he purchased a new house, the so-called Villa Aurea , and allocated private funds to perform excavations and massive renovation works at the nearby Greek temples of Akragas . In particular, he restored eight columns of the Temples of Herakles and Demetra , and excavated part of the ancient city walls in the 1920s. His activity caused a great sensation in both Sicily and Great Britain, as articles in newspapers clearly testify.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
