Stahl's classic book on Thucydides is one of the most profound and
widely respected modern studies of the Athenian historian.
Published in German in 1966 as Thukydides: Die Stellung des
Menschen im geschichtlichen Prozess, it has, until now, not been
available in English. For this new edition, the original has been
revised and enlarged by two chapters which reflect the author's
subsequent work. Stahl's achievement is, first, to free Thucydides
from the nationalist limits which modern interpreters imposed, then
to demonstrate the technique whereby Thucydides constructs his work
as an interplay, using narrative to comment on the speeches of
politicians, to confirm or, more often, to refute his speakers'
analysis. The author is Mellon Professor of Classics at the
University of Pittsburgh.
