Full Description
The Oxford Critical Guide to Tacitus presents eighteen chapters surveying individual works and books by Tacitus. The chapters treat a range of interpretive issues, including Tacitus' language and style; historical issues; literary devices; and narrative patterns. Differing from other introductions to Tacitus that adopt a thematic approach to his oeuvre as a whole, this volume approaches each as a unit, from start to finish, addressing important interpretive issues relevant to specific texts, giving readers a deeper appreciation of their nuances and features. Presupposing no prior knowledge of the works or knowledge of Latin, these features make the volume an essential resource for those studying Tacitus in translation and the original language, for those in classical studies and in other disciplines, and for teachers and students, both those at the undergraduate level and those at the graduate level.
