Synopsis
The Commentaries Of Caesar by Anthony Trollope is a concise, accessible guide to Julius Caesar's own Commentaries, written for readers who do not read Latin. Trollope explains that Caesar composed two works—the Gallic War and the Civil War—and that the former records seven campaigns in Gaul while the latter covers the civil conflict with Pompey. The volume presents Caesar's narrative style as direct and economical, sometimes austere yet vivid, and it discusses the question of authorship (and the possibility of notes or ephemerides prepared for the text). Trollope also offers a biographical sketch of Caesar’s ascent from patrician to master of the state, and he weighs the moral ambiguities of his cruelties and acts of clemency in the politics of a collapsing Roman Republic. The Introduction places Caesar in a wider historical frame, contrasting his career with figures such as Marius, Sulla, Pompey, and Augustus, and it surveys later interpretations by historians like Merivale and Mommsen. The volume thus serves as both biography and literary-critical primer on Caesar’s chronicles.
