The contributions, divided into three sections – Political Legacies, Religious Identities, and Literary Traditions – explore compelling case studies in memory and reception of the past. By examining the techniques and strategies of ancient historiography, biography, hagiography, and art, as well as their efficacy, this volume underscores how humanity has, inevitably, conveyed memory and history with (sub)conscious biases and preconceived ideas. In the contemporary era of alternative facts, fake news, and post-truth discourses, these chapters emphasize that such phenomena are by no means a recent development.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book provides invaluable scholarly insights to academics and scholars engaged in the study of memory, historiography, and representations of the past in the ancient world, as well as those working in the fields of literary traditions and reception studies more broadly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 454g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367371449\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44104674640122,"sku":"9780367371449","price":147.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1651236399523_book.jpg?v=1651437016","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/making-and-unmaking-ancient-memory-9780367371449","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
