Synopsis

Unlock Tacitus' Germania with a clear, expert introduction that explains its aims, scope, and historical context.

This edition presents the Germania with an introductory framing that helps readers see why Tacitus wrote the work and how to read it. It discusses the book’s two-part structure—geography and the tribes—and outlines how the author’s personal views appear in the narrative. It also surveys debates about Tacitus’ purpose, whether the text aims at ethical critique, political commentary, or cultural portrait.

• Understand the concerns historians and editors raise about motive, bias, and interpretation.
• See how this edition contextualizes the Germania alongside Tacitus’ other works and ancient criticism.
• Get guidance on using the book’s notes and appendices to deepen your reading.

Ideal for readers of classical history and students seeking a clear entry point to the Germania and its aims.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
