Description
The Oxford Handbook of Thucydides contains newly commissioned essays on Thucydides as an historian, thinker, and writer.
It also features chapters on Thucydides' intellectual context and ancient reception.
The creative juxtaposition of historical, literary, philosophical, and reception studies allows for a better grasp of Thucydides' complex project and its intellectual context, while at the same time providing a comprehensive introduction to the author's ideas.
The volume is organized into four sections of papers: History, Historiography, Political Theory, and Context and Reception.
It therefore bridges traditionally divided disciplines.
The authors engaged to write the forty chapters for this volume include both well-known scholars and less well-known innovators, who bring fresh ideas and new points of view.
Articles avoid technical jargon and long footnotes, and are written in an accessible style.
Finally, the volume includes a thorough introduction prefacing each paper, as well as several maps and an up-to-date bibliography that will enable further study.
The Oxford Handbook of Thucydides offers a comprehensive introduction to a thinker and writer whose simultaneous depth and innovativeness have been the focus of intense literary and philosophical study since ancient times.
