Ancient Historiography and its Contexts: Studies in Honour of A. J. Woodman 1st Edition by Christina S. Kraus (PDF)

Description

This is a collection of studies on ancient (especially Latin) poetry and historiography, concentrating especially on the impact of rhetoric on both genres, and on the importance of considering the literature to illuminate the historical Roman context and the historical context to illuminate the literature. It takes the form of a tribute to Tony Woodman, Gildersleeve Professor of Latin at the University of Virginia, for whom twenty-one scholars have contributed essays reflecting the interests and approaches that have typified Woodman’s own work. The authors that he has continuously illuminated – especially Velleius, Horace, Virgil, Sallust, and Tacitus – figure particularly prominently.
