| Title: | Ancient History: Recent Work and New Directions | | Availability: | In Print | | Publisher: | Regina Books |
Characteristic of the aims and goals of the Association of Ancient Historians, this volume focuses on the new and developing arenas of study of the Classical world. Included in this volume are informed considerations of recent work done in four major fields of Classics scholarship: Greece (beginning in the late Dark Ages), by Kurt A. Raaflaub, the Hellenistic Age (including Macedon), by Stanley M. Burstein, the Roman Republic, by Allen M. Ward, and the Roman Empire, by Ramsay MacMullen. The study, directed by Carol G. Thomas, follows the vision and trajectory set out by Chester Starr, the first president of the Association in its initial publication. Designed to give both the specialist and the novice in the field an overview of trends in present-day scholarship focused on the ancient world, each contributor is allowed his own voice and viewpoint. The study is united, however, in its dedication to the informed assessment of the state of studies in the field. The volume contains a general bibliography drawn from each of the specialists involved. | |
