from Part V - Innovation within Tradition
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 December 2022
You do not hold an inquest into a book more than twenty years later unless it was a gamechanger. That is not just because John Marincola’s Authority and Tradition is where you go first to find out what the historians said about what they were doing. It is also because it ranged so surefootedly over such a wide range that it opened many new perspectives and corrected many old mistakes – whether Caesar’s use of the third-person in the Commentarii was just the sort of thing one did, for instance, or a bold unobvious choice (H. Flower,in this volume); or what difference Rome’s preoccupation with social status made to the way historians framed their projects.
