Synopsis

This Festschrift celebrates the career of Christina S. Kraus. For nearly four decades, Professor Kraus has been an influential voice, contributing to and sometimes defining numerous sub-fields in the study of classical literature, from commentaries to prose style and from Greek tragedy to Roman historians. She has collaborated with scholars to produce volumes on the commentary as a genre of scholarship and the idea of the canon. She is perhaps best known for her work on Livy and Roman historiography. In seeking to honor this extensive and varied body of work, the editors invited contributions from scholars reflecting Professor Kraus's range. The resulting volume is divided into four sections: Roman historians (papers on Caesar, Livy, and Tacitus), prose style (Caesar, Cicero, Livy, Polybius, and Seneca), intertextuality (Sallust, Virgil, Livy, Tacitus, Augustine), and commentaries and reception (Tacitism, G. E. Gierig, commentaries on Vitruvius, and George Bernard Shaw). In addition to their thematic unity, the papers are brought together both by cross-references and by the editors' introduction, which highlights the interconnections among the individual contributions. The introduction also provides summarizes of the essays.
