| Sumario: | To what extent did the historians of the early Middle Ages inherit the aims and methods of Greek and Roman historiography? How far were they influenced by classical conventions about literary genre, rhetorical technique, and political subject-matter? A conference held in Exeter in 1985 brought together a number of scholars to discuss these questions. This book presents nine of the contributions, on representative authors from the 4th century to the 9th. Together they provide an authoritative guide to the contrasts and continuities in history-writing from Byzantium to Alfred's Wessex. |
