More About the Author
Product Description
Review
"Specialists in Roman history will welcome this collection of thirty-one papers....A fascinating book to dip into, full of curious information."--The Historian
"What sets [these papers] apart is the quality of thought, or argument, and the range of topics....Rawson had a talent for selecting topics difficult and fascinating--or perhaps it was her talent to turn the subjects she had selected into things fascinating to read."--Ploutarchos
"Rawson's writing is dense, provocative, and highly interpretive, with all the rewards and risks such an entreprise entails. But enterprising she was, and the success of that enterprise is fully revealed in this fine collection, valuable indeed for all those interested in the development and charactization of the 'Roman' mentality."--History: Review of New Books
"This collection contributes greatly to our understanding of an important historical period. It is a fitting tribute to the memory of an anima candida."--The Classical World
Product Description
The late Elizabeth Rawson (1934-1988) was a distinguished specialist in the history, society, and culture of the later Roman Republic and Augustan period, whose sudden death at the end of a visit to China came when she was at the height of her powers, and had just been elected as a Fellow of the British Academy. Her papers form a closely related group, published over a short period of time between 1971 and 1989. The topics covered include the workings of Roman politics and society, historical and antiquarian thinking at Rome, and literary and cultural history. They are reproduced here in the order in which they were published, and together form an essential contribution to the understanding of the central period of Roman history.
