Using a broad reception model and focused largely on texts outside of historiography proper, this book analyzes the entanglements of criticism and imitation in select works by Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Plutarch, Dio of Prusa, Lucian, and Pausanias. It offers a new angle on Herodotus's intellectual afterlife, channeled through evocations both explicit and implicit in literary criticism, the moral essay, public oration, satire and periegetic literature. Herodotus and Imperial Greek Literature shifts focus from reputation only - what ancient authors explicitly had to say about Herodotus - toward the kinetic interrelation between Herodotus's reputation and his active reworking across genre and mode. It demonstrates how Herodotus was strategically construed and often implicitly summoned - as fabulist, classicist, moralizer, and evasive intellectual - and how such Herodotean presences played to the wider purposes of Imperial writers. Herodotus became a touchstone for writers concerned with a nimbus of questions that the Histories first helped to articulate. Imperial Greeks found Herodotus useful in puzzling through questions of authorial persona, mimesis, the relationship between aesthetic and ethical criticism, the self, and the contingent definitions of Hellenism under Rome. Ultimately, Herodotus and Imperial Greek Literature widens an incomplete reception history and reads bi-focally, examining how attention to the presence of Herodotus in various texts unveils new layers of meaning in those works, while also showing how ancient receptions offer insight into the Histories"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 00 $a Herodotus $x Influence. 650 0 $a Greek literature $x History and criticism. 650 6 $a LitteÌrature grecque $x Histoire et critique. 600 07 $a Herodotus. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00040347 650 7 $a Greek literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00947441 650 7 $a Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00972484 600 07 $a Herodotus $x Influence $2 nli 650 7 $a Greek literature $x History and criticism $2 nli 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i Online version: $a Kirkland, N Bryant. $t Herodotus and imperial greek literature $d New York : Oxford University Press, 2022 $z 9780197583531 $w (DLC) 2022000227 941 $a 1 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214014741.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D4D229569A4E11EE9D2109AF26ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b IOWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
