Latest issue of the Herodotus, Volume XVI, Spring 2006
Editor's Note
Now in its sixteenth year, Herodotus annually celebrates academic exploration and scholastic achievement by undergraduates in the Departmentof History. The number of papers submitted for review, five times as many as could be included and each one of the highest quality, speaks to the passion and excitement with which students approach the study of history here at Stanford.
The six papers selected for inclusion in this volume cover a wide range of topics and time periods, examining phenomena from cultural, artistic, and political angles from the early modern period through the later parts of the last century. With a tremendous variety of sources and close, thoughtful consideration of all the possibilities they present, we felt these papers demonstrate the wide range and top tier insight of historical analysis taking place on campus.
Though Herodotus is entirely student-run, it would have been impossible to produce this volume without the dedicated and enthusiastic support we received from Margo Richardson and Monica Wheeler. We also wish to recognize and thank the Carl F. Brand Fund for the financial backing that allows us to print the journal.
We hope you find the following essays fascinating and enlightening.
