Abstract:The six-volume sub-series Historiography and Identity
unites a wide variety of case studies from Antiquity to the Late Middle
Ages, from the Latin West to the emerging polities in Northern and
Eastern Europe, and also incorporates a Eurasian perspective which
includes the Islamic World and China. The series aims to develop a
critical methodology that harnesses the potential of identity studies to
enhance our understanding of the construction and impact of
historiography.
This first volume in the Historiography and Identity
sub-series examines the many ways in which historiographical works
shaped identities in ancient and medieval societies by focusing on the
historians of ancient Greece and the late Roman Empire. It presents
in-depth studies about how history writing could create a sense of
community, thereby shedding light on the links between authorial
strategies, processes of identification, and cultural memory. The
contributions explore the importance of regional, ethnic, cultural, and
imperial identities to the process of history writing, embedding the
works in the changing political landscape.
