Resumen del libro

- Includes new essays by an international team of leading scholars
- Uniquely detailed cross-cultural overview of historical writing
- Thematic chapters on the connection of history with inscriptions, philosophy, and empire facilitate cross-cultural compaisons, as well as unusually extensive treatment of Egyptian and South Asian historiography
- Includes timetables and select bibliographies of key primary and secondary sources which help to orientate non-specialist readers
Volume I of The Oxford History of Historical Writing offers essays by leading scholars on the development and history of the major traditions of historical writing, including the ancient Near East, Classical Greece and Rome, and East and South Asia from their origins until ca. AD 600. It aims at once to provide an authoritative survey of the field and to provoke cross-cultural comparisons. This is the first of five volumes in a series that will explore representations of the past from the beginning of writing to the present day, and from all over the world.
