Connop Thirlwall's 'History of Greece' appeared in eight volumes between 1835 and 1844 and ran to a second edition (1846-52). This single volume provides a representative selection from the original eight. Each selection has been edited to suit the conventions of modern scholarship, while Liddel's introduction places Thirlwall's history in the context of nineteenth-century historiography of ancient Greece. Liddel also examines Thirlwall's free-thinking intellectual background, and analyses his disavowal of certainty, his use of material evidence and analogy, and his sophisticated understanding of the relations between ancient and modern.
