The ancient Greek historian Thucydides has had an enormous impact
on modern historiography, political theory, international relations
and strategic studies, but before now this has not been thoroughly
examined. This book brings together leading scholars from a range
of disciplines to explore the different facets of Thucydides'
modern reception and influence, from the birth of political theory
in Renaissance Europe to the rise of scientific history in
nineteenth-century Germany and the triumph of 'realism' in
twentieth-century international relations theory. Its chapters
consider the different national and disciplinary traditions of
reading and citing Thucydides, but also highlight common themes and
questions; in particular, the variety of images of the historian
produced by his modern readers: the scientific historian or the
artful rhetorician, the brilliant analyst of society and politics
or the great narrator of political and military events, the man of
experience and affairs or the man of contemplation and reflection.
