Mabel Lang's long career as a scholar and teacher has given her a
unique perspective on one of the most important authors in western
literature. Thucydidean Narrative and Discourse brings together
several of her most thoughtful papers on figures and issues
including the 400, Cleon, and Alcibiades, and joins them with new
material on narrative technique. The assembled papers are an
important complement to Professor Lang's pathbreaking study of
Herodotean narrative. Together with introductory essays by the
volume's editors, these papers will enable students of
historiography in general to obtain a better understanding of how
Thucydides engaged his audience. Although they were written over
many years, the papers share a consistency of insight that makes
them continually relevant to all who endeavor to understand the
literary art of Thucydides. Reviews for this volume: " T]his
collection of Lang's writings should complement any bookshelf
devoted to Thucydides or to narratological approaches to ancient
literature." - Bryn Mawr Classical Review "Very engaging and
thought-provoking..." - The Classical Outlook
