Tacitus’ Wonders
Empire and Paradox in Ancient Rome
Edited by James McNamara, University of
Potsdam, Germany & Victoria Emma Pagán,
University of Florida, USA
This volume approaches the broad topic of wonder
in the works of Tacitus, encompassing paradox, the
marvellous and the admirable. Recent scholarship
on these themes in Roman literature has tended to focus on poetic
genres, with comparatively little attention paid to historiography:
Tacitus, whose own judgments on what is worthy of note have often
differed in interesting ways from the preoccupations of his readers, is
a fascinating focal point for this complementary perspective.

CLASSICAL STUDIES – MAJOR REFERENCE WORKS
“An extraordinary and intriguing book series ... I don’t think I have ever come across anything quite like it.” Reference Reviews
The Cultural Histories are illustrated, multi-volume sets that survey the social and cultural construction of specific subjects across 6 historical
periods: Antiquity; Medieval Age; Renaissance; Age of Enlightenment; Age of Empire; Modern Age.
Each volume discusses the same themes in its chapters. This enables readers to gain an understanding of a period either by reading an entire
volume, or by reading the relevant chapter in each volume and following a theme through history.
Also available in a fully searchable digital library at www.bloomsburyculturalhistory.com
