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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eAndrea Rotstein is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Classics at Tel Aviv University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                    \n                \n            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46554283016353,"sku":"BBSNIJ9780674417236","price":28.02,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9780674417236.jpg?v=1781762454","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/literary-history-in-the-parian-marble-paperback-by-andrea-rotstein","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
