Edward Gibbon's presentation of character in both the History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire and in his posthumously published Memoirs demonstrates a prevailing interest in the values of transcendent heroism and individual liberty, but also an insistent awareness of the dangers these values pose to coherence and narrative order. In this study, Charlotte Roberts demonstrates how these dynamics also inform the 'character' of the Decline and Fall: in which ironic difference confronts enervating uniformity; oddity counters specious lucidity; and revision combats repetition. Edward Gibbon and the Shape of History explores the Decline and Fall as a work of scholarship and of literature, tracing both its expansive outline and its expressive details. A close examination of each of the three instalments of Gibbon's history reveals an intimate relationship between the style of Gibbon's narrative and the overall shape of his historiographical composition. The constant interplay between style and substance, or between the particular details of composition and the larger patterns of argument and narrative, informs every aspect of Gibbon's work: from his reception of established and innovative historiographical conventions to the expression of his narrative voice. Through a combination of close reading and larger literary and scholarly analysis, Charlotte Roberts conveys a sense of the Decline and Fall as a work more complex and conflicted, in its tone and structure, than has been appreciated by previous scholars, without losing sight of the grand contours of Gibbon's superlative achievement.

The Gibbon Controversy began in 1776 with the publication of the first volume ofThe History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire and has continued to the present. Gibbon stated that he believed an inseparable connection existed between the decline of the Roman Empire and the growth and triumph of the church. The present comprehensive account of the controversy reveals that it has been of larger proportions than has generally been known. Originally published in 1933.

Christianity and Confucianism: Culture, Faith and Politics, sets comparative textual analysis against the backcloth of 2000 years of cultural, political, and religious interaction between China and the West. As the world responds to China's rise and China positions herself for global engagement, this major new study reawakens and revises an ancient conversation. As a generous introduction to biblical Christianity and the Confucian Classics, Christianity and Confucianism tells a remarkable story of mutual formation and cultural indebtedness. East and West are shown to have shaped the mind, heart, culture, philosophy and politics of the other - and far more, perhaps, than either knows or would want to admit. Christopher Hancock has provided a rich and stimulating resource for scholars and students, diplomats and social scientists, devotees of culture and those who pursue wisdom and peace today.

Originally published in 1949, Gilbert Highet's seminal The Classical Tradition is a herculean feat of comparative literature and a landmark publication in the history of classical reception. As Highet states in the opening lines of his Preface, this book outlines "the chief ways in which Greek and Latin influence has moulded the literatures of western Europe and America". With that simple statement, Highet takes his reader on a sweeping exploration of the history of western literature. To summarize what he covers is a near-impossible task. Discussions of Ovid and French literature of the Middle Ages and Chaucer's engagement with Virgil and Cicero lead, swiftly, into arguments of Christian versus "pagan" works in the Renaissance, Baroque imitations of Seneca, and the (re)birth of satire. Building momentum through Byron, Tennyson, and the rise of "art of art's sake", Highet, at last, arrives at his conclusion: the birth and establishment of modernism. Though his humanist style may appear out-of-date in today's postmodernist world, there is a value to ensuring this influential work reaches a new generation, and Highet's light touch and persuasive, engaging voice guarantee the book's usefulness for a contemporary audience. Indeed, the book is free of the jargon-filled style of literary criticism that plagues much of current scholarship. Accompanied by a new foreword by renown critic Harold Bloom, this reissue will enable new readers to appreciate the enormous legacy of classical literature in the canonical works of medieval, Renaissance, and modern Europe and America.

Historisierung die Uberzeugung, dass die Phanomene, die eine Wissenschaft untersucht, wesentlich durch ihre spezifische Geschichtlichkeit bestimmt sind und dass daher Pflicht und Ziel der Wissenschaft in der Erforschung dieser Geschichtlichkeit bestehen ist nicht so sehr eine besondere Praxis oder Disziplin innerhalb der Philologie, sondern eine methodologische Voraussetzung, die sich in vielen verschiedenen Disziplinen und in einer Reihe verschiedener wissenschaftlicher Praktiken manifestiert. Insofern stellt sich das Thema dieses Bandes im Vergleich zu denjenigen der fruheren Bande dieser Reihe als eine Erweiterung und Vertiefung dar. Von der Historisierung wird meistens historisierend behauptet, sie sei eine spezifisch europaische Entwicklung und habe sich insbesondere im Verlaufe des 18. und 19. Jahrhunderts herausgebildet. Ziel dieses Bandes ist es, die Rolle der Historisierung in verschiedenen Disziplinen vor allem wahrend der letzten zwei Jahrhunderte exemplarisch zu untersuchen, um solche Behauptungen kritisch zu prufen und um damit zu einem differenzierteren und praziseren Verstandnis des Gesamtphanomens der Historisierung zu gelangen. Dabei wird die Rolle der Historisierung in solchen Disziplinen wie Philologie, Religionswissenschaft, Wissenschaftsgeschichte, Kunstgeschichte, Geschichte, Archaologie und Anthropologie untersucht. Die meisten Beitrage des Bandes gehen zuruck auf das von Glenn W. Most im Sommer 1998 veranstaltete 4. Heidelberger Kolloquium zu historischen und methodologischen Fragen der Philologie.
