Making Time for the Past: Local History and the Polis 1st Edition by Katherine Clarke (PDF)

Description

This book has two main and connected themes – the conception and articulation of time in the Greek world and the creation of history, especially in the context of the Greek city. Both how time is expressed and how the past is presented have often been seen as reflections of society. By looking at the construction of the past through the medium of local historiography, where we can view these issues in the relatively restricted world of individual city-states, we can gain a clearer insight into how different versions of the past and different constructions of time were offered to the community for approval. In this way, the citizens were able to negotiate time past and indeed their own history, and thereby to express their values and aspirations.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Das Buch ist ein wichtiges Fachwerk zu antiken Zeitberechnungskonzepten in der Geschichtsschreibung. Leider sind die Fußnoten zum allergrößten Teil nicht verlinkt und auch sonst nirgends zu finden. Entsprechend ist das Buch in der Kindle-Version unbrauchbar.
