Historians can either capitalize on the benefit of hindsight and give their narratives a strongly teleological design or they may try to render the past as it was experienced by historical agents and contemporaries. This book explores the fundamental tension between experience and teleology in major works of Greek and Roman historiography, biography and autobiography. The combination of theoretical reflections with close readings yields a new, often surprising assessment of the history of ancient historiography as well as a deeper understanding of such authors as Thucydides, Tacitus and Augustine. While much recent work has focused on how ancient historians use emplotment to generate historical meaning, Experience and Teleology in Ancient Historiography offers a new approach to narrative form as a mode of coming to grips with time. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 History, Ancient|xHistoriography.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008105652 650 0 Rhetoric, Ancient|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85113634|xHistoriography.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00006046 650 0 History|xMethodology.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85061218 650 7 History, Ancient|xHistoriography.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/958355 650 7 Rhetoric, Ancient|xHistoriography.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1096983 650 7 Rhetoric, Ancient.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1096982 650 7 History|xMethodology.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 958259 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aGrethlein, Jonas, 1978-|tExperience and teleology in ancient historiography|z9781107040281|w(DLC) 2013009541|w(OCoLC)833146672 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=622120|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
