Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Transactions and Proceedings of the American Philological Association, Vol. 34: 1903 The brevity of Tacitus is usually felt as a quality of the narrator of events, who aims constantly at rapidity of movement, not without a certain scorn for petty detail, and hence omitting all that is not essential to his narrative. And yet this pace is not confined to less important events, in order that the historian may move more slowly through scenes of greater significance. There is the same brevity, as a rule, even where momentous issues are concerned, and nowhere is it more marked than in vivid descriptions. Not that impatience to return to narrative furnishes any adequate explanation of these vigorous outline pictures. Other motives influenced Tacitus even more than his passion for conciseness.
