Writing and Empire in Tacitus examines how Tacitus' historiographical career serves as an argument about his personal autonomy and social value under the peculiar political conditions of the early Roman Empire. Following the arc of his career from Agricola through Histories to Annals, this book focuses on ways in which Tacitus' writing makes implicit claims about his relationship to Roman society and about the political consequentiality of historical writing. In a sense, this book suggests, his literary career and the sense of alienation his works project form the ideal complement to his very successful political career, which, while desirable, might nonetheless give the impression of degrading submission to emperors. The discussion combines careful attention to the historian's explicit programmatic discussion of his work with larger-scale analysis of stretches of narrative that have unspoken but significant implications for how we view the function and importance of Tacitus' work.

Tacitus' Annals is the central historical source for first-century C.E. Rome. It is prized by historians since it provides the best narrative material for the reigns of Tiberius, Claudius, and Nero, as well as a probing analysis of the imperial system of government. But the Annals should be seen as far more than an historical source, a mere mine for the reconstruction of the facts of Roman history. While the Annals is a superb work of history, it has also become a central text in the western literary, political, and even philosophical traditions - from the Renaissance to the French and American revolutions, and beyond. This volume attempts to enhance the reader's understanding of how this book of history could have such a profound effect.Chapters will address the purpose, form, and method of Roman historical writing, the ethnic biases of Tacitus, and his use of sources. Since Tacitus has been regarded as one of the first analysts of the psychopathology of political life, the book will examine the emperors, the women of the court, and the ambitious entourage of freedmen and intellectuals who surround every Roman ruler. The final chapter will examine the impact of Tacitus' Annals since their rediscovery by Boccaccio in the 14th century.

Die Werke des Tacitus prägen bis heute das Bild, das die Nachwelt über die frühe römische Kaiserzeit besitzt. Dieses Bild muss jedoch kritisch auf seinen Wahrheitsgehalt geprüft werden. Denn dem eigenen Grundsatz der unparteilichen Berichterstattung bleibt Tacitus bei genauerer Analyse seiner Darstellung häufig nicht treu. Oft unterschwellig vermittelt er bei scheinbarer Objektivität dem Leser seine rein subjektive Deutung der beschriebenen Vorgänge. Anhand der Tiberiusbücher der Annalen stellt das Buch exemplarisch die Techniken dieser Leserlenkung vor. Besonderes Augenmerk wird dabei auf die Charakterdarstellungen der handelnden Personen gelegt. Der zweite, umfangreichere Teil des Werkes widmet sich den Claudiusbüchern der Annalen , die nach Art eines interpretierenden Kommentars kapitelweise unter dem Aspekt der Insinuationskunst analysiert werden. Ein wichtiges Anliegen des Buches ist es, die zum Teil recht divergierenden und verstreuten Ergebnisse früherer Analysen vorzustellen, zusammenzuführen und zu erweitern.
