Title: Jordanes and the immediate past
Related: Historia : Zeitschrift für alte Geschichte, Vol. 54, Issue 4, p.473-494

Date: 2005
Author/Creator: Croke, Brian
Description: Jordanes has probably never had it so good, at least not for a long time. The author of the Romana and the Getica has been rehabilitated in recent years. No longer can he be dismissed as “a clumsy man [who] could hardly keep his Latin together”. Instead, he is now being taken more seriously as a writer whose distinctive purpose, perspective and methods suggest a level of literary and intellectual independence previously denied him.
