This
book offers a fresh perspective on the reign of Alexander the Great. It
re-examines Alexander’s military victories and personality, while also
exploring the impact of his campaigns on the people he conquered. Alexander’s
story, Stephen Harrison argues, is one that includes the vital roles that
other figures played in historical events. By considering the social and
intellectual currents of the last two decades, Harrison highlights how
changing contemporary experiences shape historical interpretations. Moving
beyond polarized debates about Alexander, he provides a nuanced discussion of
Alexander’s achievements and impact. The book presents an Alexander for the
twenty-first century, offering new insights into how and why historical
interpretations of him have changed.
