The Roman historian Sallust emerges from recent scholarship as one
of the most innovative and original writers of the ancient world.
His works describe the political and moral crises of Rome's civil
wars in the first century BCE and raise questions about the
possibilities for narrating the past that matter profoundly to
historians today. This volume provides a substantial introduction
to scholarship on Sallust, bringing together some of the best and
most important studies from the last decades and setting them
within the context of a rich and continuing scholarly tradition
that includes influential works by Eduard Schwartz (1897) and Kurt
Latte (1935). Each contribution presents a distinctive vision of
the historian and together they reveal different aspects of his
complexity and surprising modernity. Substantial attention is given
to all three of Sallust's works: the monographs on the Catilinarian
conspiracy and the war with Jugurtha, as well as the fragmentary
Histories. Translations of important contributions by German and
Italian scholars as well as a survey of the early modern reception
of Sallust offer unprecedented access to the scope of Sallust
studies. This volume will be an important resource for students of
ancient history and Latin literature at all levels and also
introduce a wider scholarly audience to Sallust's importance and
interest.
