520    The past is narrated in retrospect. 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.
