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). - Schutzumschlag etwas berieben, sonst guter Zustand / dust jacket a little rubbed, otherwise good condition. - In this insightful look at classical historiography, Gordon Shrimpton assesses the early Greek historians - Herodotus, Thucydides, Xenophon, Ephorus, and Theopompus - in light of their own views of history and the views of the ancient theorists, establishing the ancient approaches to historical verification and assessing how they differ from contemporary investigative procedures. He argues that the ancient historians saw memories about public events as public possessions: they recorded public knowledge and were judged for their style. Ancient historians regarded travel, through which they came into contact with relevant regional traditions, as the best way to acquire and transmit knowledge about the past with due regard to truth. In the seventeenth century, however, historical narratives came to be viewed as the property of an individual investigator and historical knowledge became a commodity to be bought and sold through publication. Shrimptons study is a major reassessment of the role of group dynamics and individualism in the establishment of authority in ancient historical writing.
