The Nature of History in Ancient Greece and Rome [Book Review]

Review of Metaphysics 39 (2):355-356 (1985)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

This volume is a welcome addition to the growing body of contemporary scholarship aimed at a more manageable estimation of Greco-Roman historiography than that provided by the themes of nineteenth century German research and its progeny. This is an extremely well-written and reasoned treatment, squarely based upon the classical writings and encompassing a balanced presentation of substance and suggestion.
