Download or read book The Ruins of Palmyra written by Robert Wood and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Wood's Palmyra and Balbec were first printed in 1753 and 1757, respectively, in simultaneous English and French editions. (For the circumstances of publication, see the Introduction below.) Both were republished in a single volume in 1827 (London: William Pickering); and reprinted in separate volumes in 1971 (Westmead: Gregg International). No manuscript of the texts is known to survive, but Borra's drawings for the plates are preserved in the collection of the Royal Institute of British Architects (see, e.g., Figure 7 in the Introduction below). The present text is based on the original English editions of 1753 and 1757. Orthography and capitalization have been modernised, punctuation has not. Toponyms and names of historical figures have been modified to reflect current English usage. Wood's references to other authors, ancient and modern, are highly abbreviated, and are here reprinted as found. However, passages directly quoted from ancient authors have been updated by reference to more recent editions: the Loebs for Diodorus Siculus, the Historia Augusta, Pliny, and Strabo; Dindorf (1832) for the Chronicon Paschale; Mommsen (1868) for the Digest; Rougé (1966) for the Expositio totius mundi et gentium; Lightfoot (2003) for Lucian's On the Syrian Goddess; Willis (1994) for Macrobius; and Thurn (2000) for Malalas. Citations, by book and chapter when appropriate, have been supplied {in braces}. Internal cross-references have been updated to reflect the pagination of the present volumes. References in the Introduction give the pagination, first of the original editions, then of the present volumes."--

Download or read book The Romantic Historicism to Come written by Jonathan Crimmins and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2018-04-19 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vacillating between the longue durée and microhistory, between ideological critique and historical sympathy, between the contrary formalisms of close and distant reading, literary historians operate with such disparate senses of what the term “history” means that the field risks compartmentalization and estrangement. The Romantic Historicism to Come engages this uncertainty in order to construct a more robust, more capacious idea of history. Focusing attention on Romantic conceptions of history's connection to the future, The Romantic Historicism to Come examines the complications of not only Romantic historicism, but also our own contemporary critical methods: what would it mean if the causal assumptions that underpin our historical judgments do not themselves develop in a stable, progressive manner? Articulating history's minimum conditions, Jonathan Crimmins develops a theoretical apparatus that accounts for the concurrent influence of the various sociohistorical forces that pressure each moment. He provides a conception of history as open to radical change without severing its connection to causality, better addressing the problem of the future at the heart of questions about the past.

Book excerpt: Palmyra has long attracted the attention of the world. Even before its rediscovery in the eighteenth century it had gained legendary status because of its third-century CE Queen Zenobia, who had rebelled against the Romans and expanded Palmyra's territory into that of an Empire, stretchingfrom what is modern eastern Turkey into Egypt. The city and its queen featured in European art and literature already in the century. Zenobia's Palmyra already existed as a mirage in the minds of the educated Europeans. Even though Zenobia's reign and extensive power was a fairly short interlude andthe Romans struck hard against the Palmyrenes devastating the city, this path to imperial power was one which tells us an immense amount about Palmyrene identity in the period before the devastation. While Zenobia has gained renewed interest among both scholars and the press, and while she hasserved as a political symbol for Syria's president As'ad (a statue of her was recently erected in Damascus), the time leading up to her reign still remains underexplored.With the current situation in Syria, a researched-based narrative is urgently needed to communicate the importance of this site to the general public. Palmyra has over the last years been used as a symbol of the resistance of the rebels, the power of ISIS over the region, as well as the supremacy ofthe Syrian state. UNESCO and the Russians have together with the Syrian state taken a particular interest in Palmyra and in monopolizing the potential rebuilding of the site after the destruction and looting of the past several years have subsided. We are, so to speak, standing at yet anotherturning point in Palmyra's long history, where history is being reinvented actively by several parties. There can be no doubt that the time is ripe for a book on the archaeology and history of Palmyra, as well as an analysis of the current situation, including the destruction and illicit traffickingof material remains from Palmyra. These three main topics will together highlight the ways in which this fascinating site has again and again captured the world's focus.Organized in nine chapters, this compact book will set out to provide an introduction for students and general readers. Following two overview chapters, the next six will give a chronological narrative of Palmyra from the late Hellenistic period through to Rome's destruction in 273 CE and itssurvival in the Byzantine and medieval Islamic periods. The book ends with a shorter conclusion chapter, which will summarize the most important findings and conclusions of the chapters of the book and will set out a number of lines of enquiry which could be taken up in research and culturalheritage management over the coming years. The result will be the best and most up-to-date account of Palmyra in English.
