| 描述 | .This book investigates the ‘decline and fall’of Rome as perceived and imagined in aspects of British and American cultureand thought from the late nineteenth through the early twenty-first centuries.It explores the ways in which writers, filmmakers and the media haveconceptualized this process and the parallels they have drawn, deliberately orunconsciously, to their contemporary world. Jonathan Theodore argues that thedecline and fall of Rome is no straightforward historical fact, but a ‘myth’in terms coined by Claude Lévi-Strauss, meaning not a ‘falsehood’ but acomplex social and ideological construct. Instead, it represents the fears ofEuropean and American thinkers as they confront the perceived instability andpitfalls of the civilization to which they belonged. The material gathered inthis book illustrates the value of this idea as a spatiotemporal .concept., rather than a .historical .event – a narrative with itsown unique moral purpose. . |
