Buchbeschreibung Zustand: Gut. XIII, 449 Seiten / p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - Tony Woodman's work on Roman poetry and historiography has been immensely influential during the last forty years. Its hallmark has been its blend of close attention to Latin language and style with a readiness to argue large, provocative, and field-changing ideas. A particular feature of his work has been his interest in rhetoric and its impact on both poetry and historiography; scholars, he has argued, have been far too ready to assume that historians in the ancient world approached their material with the same priorities as their modern counterparts, and that they conceived of and constructed historical truth in similar ways. This volume collects essays from twenty-one of Tony Woodman's friends and admirers, many of whom are or have been colleagues, collaborators, or students. The themes and approaches of the papers reflect Woodman's own interests. Many engage closely with particular poems or passages, often to bring out how particular rhetorical strategies or echoes of other texts give unexpected perspectives. A number show how texts convey new and interesting insights about the Roman past; several also illuminate the historical context, as the Roman past was always of extraordinary importance for the Roman present, while present circumstances continually revised the views that were held of the past. The authors that Tony Woodman's own work has continuously illuminatedespecially Velleius, Horace, Virgil, Sallust, and Tacitus figure prominently. -- Contents -- AUTHOR AND AUDIENCE -- Narrative and Speech Problems in Thucydides Book I John Moles -- Divide and Conquer: Caesar, De Bello Gallico 7 Christina Shuttleworth Kraus -- Scipio the Matchmaker Jane D.
