Narratology, a new receptiveness to intertextuality, and a re-thinking of the relationship between literature and its political contexts have ensured that the works of historians such as Livy, Sallust, and Tacitus will be read as texts with the same interest and sophistication as they are used as sources. In this book, topics central to the entire tradition, such as conceptions of time, characterization, and depictions of politics and the gods, are treated synoptically, while other essays highlight the works of less familiar historians, such as Curtius Rufus and Ammianus Marcellinus. A final section focuses on the rich reception history of Roman historiography, from the ancient Greek historians of Rome to the twentieth century. An appendix offers a chronological list of the ancient historians of Rome. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 606 $aHistoriography$zRome 606 $aHistorians$zRome$vBiography 607 $aRome$xHistoriography 607 $aRome$xHistory 615 0$aHistoriography 615 0$aHistorians 676 $a937.0072 702 $aFeldherr$b Andrew$f1963- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996210089503316 996 $aCambridge companion to the Roman historians$9251572 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
