Original Boards. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First Edition; First Edition. Dustjacket (somewhat creased) . Stamped Damaged on verso title page. ; Hardcover; Octavo; x, 257 pages; Historians often refer to past events which took place prior to their narrative's proper past - that is, they refer to a 'plupast'. This past embedded in the past can be evoked by characters as well as by the historian in his own voice. It can bring into play other texts, but can also draw on lieux de memoire or on material objects. The articles assembled in this volume explore the manifold forms of the plupast in Greek and Roman historians from Herodotus to Appian. The authors demonstrate that the plupast is a powerful tool for the creation of historical meaning. Moreover, the acts of memory embedded in the historical narrative parallel to some degree the historian's activity of recording the past. The plupast thereby allows Greek and Roman historians to reflect on how (not) to write history and gains metahistorical significance. In shedding new light on the temporal complexity and the subtle forms of self-conscious reflection in the works of ancient historians, Time and Narrative in Ancient Historiography significantly enhances our understanding of their narrative art.

Historians often refer to past events which took place prior to their narrative s proper past that is, they refer to a 'plupast' This past embedded in the past can be evoked by characters as well as by the historian in his own voice.

The articles assembled in this volume explore the manifold forms of the plupast in Greek and Roman historians from Herodotus to Appian.

In shedding new light on the temporal complexity and the subtle forms of self-conscious reflection in the works of ancient historians, Time and Narrative in Ancient Historiography significantly enhances our understanding of their narrative art. References to the past embedded in historical narratives have until now not received the same systematic attention as references to the stage and poetry in plays (metatheatre) and poems (metapoetics).
