Endorsing the hypothesis that the inscription was originally displayed at a Parian shrine honoring Archilochus, Andrea Rotstein argues that literary history was one of its main concerns. Though it may be conventional in its focus on the chronology of poets, their inventions and victories, the Parian Marble is nonetheless idiosyncratic in the range of authors displayed. By reconstructing the methods by which information might have been obtained, Rotstein contributes to an understanding of the way literary history was practiced within the local communities of ancient Greece, away from the major Hellenistic centers of scholarship. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Parian chronicle has not been the subject of a comprehensive study for almost a century. \u003ci\u003eLiterary History in the Parian Marble\u003c\/i\u003e brings to the English-speaking audience up-to-date information about the inscription, including a revision of Felix Jacoby's Greek text and a complete translation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrea Rotstein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674417232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674417236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/25\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Andrea Rotstein","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086760587519,"sku":"9780674417236","price":22.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5ea74b4b-f801-4cc8-bc85-d8543b8c6496.jpg?v=1769096419","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/literary-history-in-the-parian-andrea-rotstein-9780674417236","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
