"W. R. Connor, well known for his work as an historian and as a student of historiography, has now written a sensitive literary critique of Thucydides, arguing forcefully that historians who rely on literary evidence must be attentive to how literary texts work. Combining a sound background in his period with a keen sense of Thucydidean style and method, Connor has constructed a work that will be read with profit by anyone interested in history, historiography, or the Periclean age."--Daniel P. Tompkins, History and Theory
