| Sumario: | The classical historian Theodor Mommsen published his History of Rome between 1854 & 1856. His work was received with widespread acclaim by the scholarly community & the reading public. In 1902, in recognition of this monumental work, Mommsen was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature & acclaimed as 'the greatest living master of the art of historical writing'. Mommsen rejected traditional Enlightenment accounts, which glorified ancient Rome; instead, guided by a new & rigorous criticism of sources, he began the demythologisation of Roman history. In a vivacious & engaging style, using modern terms to express classical ideas, Mommsen drew bold parallels between the 19th century & classical Rome. Volume 1 begins with Rome's earliest origins & ends with the unification of Italy; it contains separate chapters on religion, law & justice, art, & writing. |
