 Any political and cultural narrative of the Roman Empire would be incomplete without an understanding of the people referred to as “barbarians” in classical texts. Greg Woolf’s recent monograph on ethnography clearly recognizes this. Tales of the barbarians examines how authors of the Roman Empire wrote about foreign peoples of the West, but it approaches this topic with keen sensitivity to how ethnography as a writing practice also relates to cultural plurality and identity in empire.
Tales of the Barbarians traces the creation of new mythologies in the wake of Roman expansion westward to the Atlantic, and offers the first application of modern ethnographic theory to ancient material.Investigates the connections between empire and knowledge at the turn of the millennia, and the creation of new histories in the Roman WestExplores how ancient geography, local histories and the stories of wandering heroes were woven together by Greek scholars and local expertsOffers a fresh perspective by examining passages from ancient writers in a new light Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
