Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Study of Ancient History in Oxford
I. I had once a pupil who began his Oxford course by reading for Classical Honour Moderations. Reasons which I have forgotten made him change his plans after a term or so: he took up Pass Moderations instead and I had to teach him for that examination. He was very. Confident that he could surmount the Pass hedges with complete ease, but I had soon to tell him that the work he had done for Honours would lead him straight to a heavy fall. He could translate his books, or most parts of them. He had no idea whatever of getting up their contents, and when one asked him the usual question, Who did what when he was beaten.

Excerpt from The Study of Ancient History in Oxford: A Lecture Delivered to Undergraduates Reading for the Literae Humaniores School, May 1912
Lectures are seldom published singly unless they have been read on ceremonial occasions to general audiences and their style and subject are suitable thereto. The present lecture is not of that kind. It was delivered to undergraduates beginning the study of ancient history in Oxford; its purpose is to set out in plain words the main features of that study. It aims at emphasizing three points, first, the need - well known to all but realized by few - of chronology and still more of geography, as geography is now understood, in any study of history; secondly, the character of the Oxford ancient history course as a study of short periods based on a close reading of the original authorities; and thirdly, the relation between Greek and Roman history, which by their very differences supplement each other to an extent which learners - and even teachers - do not always see. At the end I have said a word about the connexion between this course and the training of future researchers. Some of my colleagues, who read the lecture in typoscript, tell me that, if published, it would help their pupils and interest others elsewhere who have to do with the study of Roman history.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique and engaging perspective on the study of ancient history, challenging the traditional approach that often overlooks the crucial connection between geography, chronology, and the interpretation of historical events. The author argues for a deeper understanding of the relationship between Greek and Roman history, emphasizing their distinct yet complementary qualities. Through insightful analysis of primary sources and the examination of historical methods, the author invites readers to explore the nuances of historical evidence, from the weight of literary narratives to the significance of archaeological artifacts like inscriptions and coins. The book delves into the complexities of constitutional development, exploring how the rise and fall of city-states in Greece contrast with the vastness and longevity of the Roman Empire. The author skillfully demonstrates how the differences between Greek and Roman history offer a unique learning opportunity, exposing the reader to a spectrum of historical approaches and perspectives. Ultimately, this book illuminates the enduring relevance of ancient history, showcasing its profound impact on our understanding of political structures, human nature, and the enduring forces that shape our world.
