The Greek Historians
Autor T. James Luceen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 ian 1997
The Greek Historians follows the development of history from Herodotus, via Thucydides, Xenophon and Polybius, until the Hellenistic age. It introduces the individual writers and their topics, yet it also outlines their attitudes to historiography and their criticisms of each other. Such themes as the uses and value of truth and causation are traced, as well as the growing constraints on free speech under Hellenistic monarchs and the Romans. Written in an accessible and captivating manner, with suggestions for further reading, this book serves as a lucid introduction to Greek historians and writing of history.

UndergraduateRecenzii
'One of the great merits of L.'s book is that he covers in summary many of the major academic issue raised by the Greek Historians. He also discusses a number of extracts from the major writers, providing teachers with a taste of some important texts. Teachers will be glad to hear that this is a book that should encourage students to read the Greek Historians themselves.' - Matthew Clark, JACT Review
