Reprint, stapled. Condition: Gut. pp.9-40. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - A good and clean copy. - From the text: Jacoby referred to Herodotus as a "Januskopf." The Histories stand at the beginning of written Greek history and Greek artistic prose and look both forward to history as we know it and back to an oral and archaic Greek past largely inaccessible to our ways of thinking and feeling. Because of Herodotus' position as a transitional figure, an unusual number of basic scholarly issues remain open subjects of debate. Where did Herodotus get the models for what he wanted to do? How did he evolve as a thinker and a writer? Was he interested principally in the past and the intellectual difficulties involved in recovering and understanding it? Or was his real interest in the present and contemporary issues of international power politics and/or political ethics? Or was he the last of the Presocratic philosophers, articulating a complex understanding of the enduring relations between geography, human culture, and the divine? Finally, what relation does the work he produced bear to the genre of which he is called the father? Is it basically the same sort of thing, or a different thing altogether? Such questions form the maze of contemporary Herodotean scholarship, and one cannot usefully think about Herodotus without coming to some decision on most of them. - Wikipedia: Carolyn Dewald is an American classical scholar who is Professor Emerita of Classical Studies at Bard College. She is an expert on ancient Greek historiography, and the author of several books and articles focusing on the writings of Herodotus and Thucydides. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.

Reprint, stapled. Condition: Gut. pp. 147-170. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With author's dedication. - A very good and clean copy. - From the text: It is a topos nowadays that an author does not just construct his text but also encodes into it a narrative contract: he writes into the text the rules by which his audience is to read it, how we are to understand his performance as author and our own responsibilities and legitimate pleasures as readers. Judged by the standards of later historical prose, the narrative contract that Herodotus establishes between himself, the author, and ourselves, his readers, is a peculiar one. Its rules are very odd indeed. Here I would like to explore two aspects of those rules: the construction of the narrative surface and of the authorial "I" within it. Both these aspects of Herodotus' rhetoric have generally been evaluated against the standard practices of history writing. But if we look at Herodotus' narrative surface and authorial voice on their own terms, the contract they suggest is not (at least in some essentials) a historical one. The Herodotus I would like to propose here is a heroic warrior. Like Menelaus on the sands of Egypt, he struggles with a fearsome beast and wins. The antagonist that Herodotus struggles with is, like many mythic beasts, a polymorphously fearsome oddity; it consists of the logos, or collection of logoi, that comprise the narrative of the Histories. What Herodotus, like Menelaus, wants from his contest is accurate information. The Histories Herodotus has given us are the record of his heroic encounter: his exploits in capturing the logoi and his struggles to pin them down and make them speak to him the truths that they contain. - Wikipedia: Carolyn Dewald is an American classical scholar who is Professor Emerita of Classical Studies at Bard College.
