This full-scale sequential reading of Thucydides' history of the
Peloponnesian War will be invaluable to the specialist and also to
those in search of an introduction and companion to the
"Histories." Moving beyond other studies by its focus on the
reader's role in giving meaning to the text, it reveals Thucydides'
use of objectivity not so much as a standard for the proper
presentation of his subject matter as a method for communicating
with his readers and involving them in the complexity and suffering
of the Peloponnesian War. W. Robert Connor shows that as
Thucydides' themes and ideas are reintroduced and developed, the
initial reactions of the reader are challenged, subverted, and
eventually made to contribute to a deeper understanding of the
war.
