Fame and Infamy honours Christopher Pelling, reflecting the range
of his interests and demonstrating the extent of his influence in
spearheading the so-called literary turn in the study of ancient
historiography. The volumes twenty-four chapters are written by
former pupils, graduate students, and close academic associates,
themselves leading experts in their fields, from the UK and
overseas. They consider the central question of characterization
within Greek and Roman historiography and biography from a fresh
perspective, combining close readings of texts of individual
authors and overarching exploration into questions of how and why
characterization in the ancient world evolves in the ways that it
does. Spanning a wide period of time, and focusing on writers from
both the Greek and Roman worlds - from Herodotus to Cassius Dio,
and from Cicero to Suetonius and beyond - this volume will be
essential reading for anyone interested in the evolution of the
genres of historiography and biography in the ancient world.
