The Oxford Handbook of Thucydides contains essays on Thucydides as
an historian, thinker, and writer. It also features papers on
Thucydides' intellectual context and ancient reception. The
creative juxtaposition of historical, literary, philosophical, and
reception studies allows for a better grasp of Thucydides' complex
project and its intellectual context, while at the same time
providing a comprehensive introduction to Thucydides' ideas. The
Oxford Handbook of Thucydides is organized into four sections of
papers: History, Historiography, Political Theory, and Context and
Reception. It therefore bridges traditionally divided disciplines.
The authors engaged to write the forty chapters for this volume
include both well-known scholars and less well-known innovators,
who bring fresh ideas and new points of view. Articles avoid
technical jargon and long footnotes, and are written in an
accessible style. Finally, The Oxford Handbook of Thucydides
includes a thorough introduction, which introduces every paper, as
well as two maps and an up-to-date bibliography that will enable
further and more specific study. It therefore offers a
comprehensive introduction to a thinker and writer whose
simultaneous depth and innovativeness have been the focus of
intense literary and philosophical study since ancient times.
