Momigliano Arnaldo
ESSAYS IN ANCIENT AND MODERN HISTORIOGRAPHY
Wesleyan University Press. Very Good. 1982. Paperback. 081956074X . Small sticker residue to rear wrap. Faint crease to 1 corner. Else book is fine. ; Arnaldo Momigliano was one of the foremost classical historiographers of the twentieth century. This collection of twenty-one carefully selected essays is remarkable both in the depth of its scholarship and the breadth of its subjects. Moving with ease across the centuries Momigliano supplements powerful readings of writers in the Greek Jewish and Roman traditions such as Tacitus and Polybius with writings that focus on later historians such as Vico and Croce. Charmingly written and concise these pieces range from review essays reprinted from the New York Review of Books to treatises on the nature of historical scholarship. Essays in Ancient and Modern Historiography is a brilliant reminder of Momigliano's profound knowledge of classical civilization and his gift for deftly handling prose. ; 397 pages .

Else minor shelfwear. ; Xv 283pp. Father-son conflict was for the Athenians a topic of widespread interest that touched the core of both family and political life particularly during times of social upheaval. In this vivid account of the intermingling of politics and the private sphere in classical Athens Barry Strauss explores the tensions experienced by a society that cherished both youthful independence and paternal authority. He examines father-son relations within the Athenian family and the way these relations were represented in a wide variety of political and literary texts. His inquiry reveals that representations of patricide father beating and son murdering did not necessarily coincide with actual instances but rather served as metaphors for intergenerational tensions fueled by democracy the sophists and the Peloponnesian War. ; 283 pages .

DJ has large tear to upper corner 1cm by 4 cm. ; This study of the Roman Empire in the age of Constantine offers a thoroughly new assessment of the part Christianity played in the Roman world of the third and fourth centuries. Mr. Barnes gives the fullest available narrative history of the reigns of Diocletian and Constantine. He analyzes Constantine's rise to power and his government demonstrating how Constantine's sincere adherence to Christianity advanced his political aims. He explores the whole range of Eusebius' writings especially those composed before Constantine became emperor and shows that many attitudes usually deemed typical of the "Constantinian revolution" were prevalent before the new Christian empire came into existence. This authoritative political and cultural history of the age of Constantine will prove essential to students and historians of the ancient world. ; 464 pages . Harvard University Press hardcover

Else very minor shelfwear to book. Dustjacket has light shelfwear with 1 tiny chip to head of spine. ; In The Experiences of Tiresias its title referring to the shepherd struck blind after glimpsing Athena's naked body Nicole Loraux explores the ambivalence in how the Greek male defines himself in relationship to the feminine. In these essays Loraux disturbs the idea of virile men and feminine women a distinction found in official discourse and aimed at protecting the ideals of male identity from any taint of the feminine. Turning to epic and to Socrates however she insists on a logic of an inclusiveness between the genders which casts a shadow over their clear officially defined borders. "Nicole Loraux documents with delicate sensitivity to text and context the mobility of the contrast between 'man' and 'the feminine. '. Her readings of tragedy are particularly compelling. "--Mary Margaret McCabe The Times Literary Supplement "Loraux is a pioneer in the analysis of gender difference and sexuality in classical Greece. Strongly opposed to polarized interpretations of 'masculine' and 'feminine ' she illuminates the complex and often contradictory interrelationship of the sexes in real life and in the Greek/Athenian social 'imaginary.
