- Double-weighted statement
- This edited book is a ground-breaking collective investigation of the impact of Herodotus' Histories during a momentous period in world history, and is devoted to the in-depth exploration of a complex and often underexplored set of evidence. The introduction co-authored by Skinner sets out important and innovative working principles for the exploration of classical receptions in the long nineteenth century, whose significance exceeds the study of a single author. Skinner’s substantial chapter discusses a wide range of evidence for engagement with Herodotus in nineteenth-century Britain, and sheds new light on its significance to the imperial project.
