This volume explores the uses of the enduringly popular Roman historian Tacitus in and since the early modern period. In particular, it focuses on the road to and ongoing legacy of 'high Tacitism' (c. 1570 - 1670), a period when Tacitus was the most widely-published ancient historian. Rediscovered comparatively late, Tacitus' works did not find a place in education comparable to Cicero or Virgil, but the intense period of reception was a major intellectual current in early Modern Europe which presented a key re-direction of humanism, and a challenge to Ciceronian humanism.
