Constancy in Livy's Latinity

By Konrad Gries

Book Overview

Constancy in Livy's Latinity is a scholarly work by Konrad Gries that explores the use of language in the works of the ancient Roman historian Livy. Gries argues that Livy's style of writing is characterized by a consistent and deliberate use of certain linguistic features, including vocabulary, syntax, and word order. He shows how Livy's use of these features contributes to the overall meaning and impact of his works, and how they reflect the values and beliefs of the Roman society in which he lived. Through close analysis of specific passages from Livy's writings, Gries offers a nuanced and insightful interpretation of the historian's literary style and its significance for understanding the culture and history of ancient Rome. This book is an essential resource for scholars and students of classical literature, history, and language.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
