Book Overview
The Historical Present In Early Latin is a book written by Anne Crosby Emery and published in 1897. The book explores the use of the historical present tense in early Latin literature, specifically in the works of Livy, Sallust, and Caesar. Emery analyzes the instances of the historical present in these texts and argues that it serves a rhetorical purpose, emphasizing the immediacy and vividness of the events being described. She also examines the relationship between the historical present and other tenses, such as the imperfect and the perfect, and discusses its use in different genres of literature, including epic poetry and oratory. The book provides a valuable insight into the linguistic and literary techniques used in early Latin literature and sheds light on the ways in which writers of the time conveyed their ideas and stories.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
