Herodotus in the Long Nineteenth Century traces the impact of
Herodotus' Histories during a momentous period in world history -
an era of heightened social mobility, religious controversy,
scientific discovery and colonial expansion. Contributions by an
international team of specialists in Greek historiography,
classical archaeology, receptions, and nineteenth-century
intellectual history shed new light on how the Histories were read,
remembered, and re-imagined in historical writing and in an
exciting array of real-world contexts: from the classrooms of
English public schools and universities to the music hall, museum,
or gallery; from the news-stand to the nursery; and from the banks
of the Nile to the mountains of the Hindu Kush. They reveal not
only how engagement with Herodotus' work permeated nationalist
discourses of the period, but also the extent to which these
national and disciplinary contexts helped shape the way both
Herodotus and the ancient past have been understood and
interpreted.
