Original Boards. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition; First Edition. Dustjacket (somewhat creased) . Stamped Damaged on verso title page.; Hardcover; Octavo; x, 257 pages; Historians often refer to past events which took place prior to their narrative's proper past - that is, they refer to a 'plupast'. This past embedded in the past can be evoked by characters as well as by the historian in his own voice. It can bring into play other texts, but can also draw on lieux de memoire or on material objects. The articles assembled in this volume explore the manifold forms of the plupast in Greek and Roman historians from Herodotus to Appian. The authors demonstrate that the plupast is a powerful tool for the creation of historical meaning. Moreover, the acts of memory embedded in the historical narrative parallel to some degree the historian's activity of recording the past. The plupast thereby allows Greek and Roman historians to reflect on how (not) to write history and gains metahistorical significance. In shedding new light on the temporal complexity and the subtle forms of self-conscious reflection in the works of ancient historians, Time and Narrative in Ancient Historiography significantly enhances our understanding of their narrative art.…

Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2016. First paperback ed. X,257p. Paperback. The editors explore traditions of ancient historiography by assembling eleven learned contributions that study the 'metahistorical' concept of the subtitle (coined by Grethlein). The introduction develops a theory and then ten chapters apply it to surviving 'historical' texts, either a single section (Tacitus) or an entire work (Xenophon). This 'plupast' includes periods prior to the historians? chosen scope and periods prior to the presents of the historians? characters, past paradigms of desirable or undesirable plans and acts mentioned in their speech or thought. The editors maintain a tight focus. Only three chapters address Latin writers (major figures: Sallust, Livy, and Tacitus, but where is Ammianus, even Caesar, or Suetonius?). The remaining authors, besides Appian and Herodotus, are Thucydides, Xenophon, Dionysius, and Plutarch (historian by courtesy of sporadically policed genre parameters). (.) The volume articulates a newly titled but significant ancient phenomenon.' (DONALD LATEINER in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2012.11.43).…
