No field of Latin literature has been more transformed over
the last couple of decades than that of the Roman historians.
Narratology, a new receptiveness to intertextuality, and a
re-thinking of the relationship between literature and its
political contexts have ensured that the works of historians such
as Livy, Sallust, and Tacitus will be read as texts with the same
interest and sophistication as they are used as sources. Topics
central to the entire tradition, such as conceptions of time,
characterization, and depictions of politics and the gods, are
treated synoptically, while other essays highlight the works of
less familiar historians, such as Curtius Rufus and Ammianus
Marcellinus. A final section focuses on the rich reception history
of Roman historiography, from the ancient Greek historians of Rome
to the twentieth century. An appendix offers a chronological list
of the ancient historians of Rome.
