History and Geography in Late Antiquity(ISBN=9780521075985) 下载 pdf 2025 网盘 epub 在线 mobi 免费

　　The period from the fifth century to the eighth century

witnessed massive political, social and religious change in Europe.

Geographical and historical thought, long rooted to Roman

ideologies, had to adopt the new perspectives of late antiquity. In

the light of expanding Christianity and the evolution of successor

kingdoms in the West, new historical discourses emerged which were

seminal in the development of medieval historiography. Taking their

lead from Orosius in the early fifth century, Latin historians

turned increasingly to geographical de*ion, as well as

historical narrative, to examine the world around them. This book

explores the interdependence of geographical and historical modes

of expression in four of the most important writers of the period:

Orosius, Jordanes, Isidore of Seville and the Venerable Bede. It

offers important readings of each by arguing that the long

geographical passages with which they were introduced were central

to their authors' historical assumptions and arguments.

Introduction:

History's other eye;

1. Orosius

2. Jordanes

3. Isidore

4. Bede.

书籍介绍

The civilized world witnessed massive political, social and religious change from the fifth century to the eighth century. Geographical and historical thought, long rooted to Roman ideologies, had to adopt new perspectives of late antiquity. Taking their lead from Orosius in the early fifth century, Latin historians turned increasingly to geographical description, as well as historical narrative, to examine the world around them. This book explores the interdependence of geographical and historical modes of expression in four of the most important writers of the period: Orosius, Jordanes, Isidore of Seville and the Venerable Bede.
