• W232420153 abstract "BOOK REVIEWS Walter Goffart, The Narrators of Barbarian History (A.D. 550-800): Jor- danes, Gregory of Tours, Bede, and Paul the Deacon. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1988. Pp. x v + 491. Much of our knowledge of early medieval Europe depends upon four historians: Jordanes, Gregory of Tours, Bede, and Paul the Deacon. In The Narrators of Barbarian History, Walter Goffart provides new perspec­ tives on these historians. His goal is twofold: to liberate each from a nar­ rowly defined status as national historian and to uncover their unique historiographie contribution. He seeks to free each from a romantic, historiographie isolation. He succeeds in his first goal, but by pushing beyond a narrow, nationalistic analysis, his interpretation of their works becomes marked by a constant desire to uncover a historiographie p r o ­ gram in each. This search is consistently founded upon discursive argu­ ments from silence, buttressed by elaborate constructs that fail to convince. At best, his interpretation is interesting and daring; at worst, it confuses. Goffart's analysis of Jordanes has three goals. First, he strives to por­ tray Jordanes as more than the historian of the G o t h s . Second, he at­ tempts to liberate Jordanes from his customary role as a mere epitomator of Cassiodorus. Last, he wishes to reveal a coherent historiographie pro­ gram in the Getica, a work generally considered a flawed, tangled com­ pilation from Cassiodorus. He is convinced that Jordanes consciously omitted information from Cassiodorus (41). Omissions are part of a plan behind the Getica to meet the new political context in Constantinople fol­ lowing the reconquest of Italy in the 550s (96). The work's happy con­ clusion—the birth of a Gothic-Roman child—symbolizes the new fusion of the Goths with the Empire of Justinian. Together with his Historia Romano, the Getica forms a three-part history to educate a newly-con­ quered Italy as part of the Empire. In short, the Getica is political propa­ ganda, not merely Gothic history (107). It is difficult, however, to be entirely convinced either by Jordanes' independence from Cassiodorus on the basis of these supposed conscious omissions or by a definite linking of the Getica to the 550s. Goffart's suggestions, based upon Jordanes' silence, are interesting, not persuasive." @default.
