Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This collection of essays focuses on Livy's way of employing intertextual strategies in dealing with his direct and indirect sources. In sum, this perspective throws Livy's literary aspirations as an author of historiography into sharper relief. Livy emerges as a thoughtful critic not only of his sources but also of historiographical methodologies.

This book includes articles by Jane D. Chaplin, Andrew Feldherr, Mary Jaeger, Ayelet Haimson Lushkov, Timothy J. Moore, Wolfgang Polleichtner, and Nadejda Popov-Reynolds.
