Item description from seller

XIII, 375 Seiten / p. 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). - sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - This volume deals with the question: how did scholars and artists in the early moden period represent, or rather, recreate (Greek and Roman) history? It appears that ancient history was not just studied so as to reconstruct the past, it was used as a way of understanding and legitimizing the present. -- Sixteen authors from various disciplines have studied the works of scholars and artists in different media so as to reveal how they used ancient history as a rich field of raw material that could be used, recycled and adapted to new needs and purposes. -- The studies in this volume are important for historians of the early modern period from all disciplines, and for all those interested in the reception of classical antiquity. -- TABLE OF CONTENTS -- The Representation of History in Artistic Theory in the Early Modem Period -- Anton Boschloo (Leiden) -- Universals and Particulars.
