Description
This book traces the Roman writer's portrait of the "ancient Germans" from its genesis and political context in the 1st and 2nd century CE over its survival through the Middle Ages and rediscovery in the Renaissance to the Third Reich. It thereby examines the book's influence on the internal and external image of the Germans, as distinguished from the "Germanen", the original subject of the study.
Description
Traces the five-hundred year history and wide-ranging influence of the Roman historian's unflattering book about the ancient Germans that was eventually extolled by the Nazis as a bible.
