Name stamp on title page. ?It seems incredible, but until recently there had been no full length study of Suetonius in English, even though he is a primary and contemporary source for the most evidently studied period of Roman history, is repeatedly mentioned by other ancient writers, is known also from epigraphy, and has always been a much read and widely imitated author. (?) Scholars will warmly welcome Wallace-Hadrill?s book, since it does far more than recount what is known of Suetonius? life, paying due attention to the vexed questions when he was born (c. A.D. 69?) and where (Hippo Regius?), whether he actually served as tribunus ?angusticlavius? (probably not), how he published his ?Caesares? (perhaps serially), and in which year did he and his patron lose Hadrian?s favour (c. 128?). By discussing all aspects of Roman life and letters in the first century this study sets Suetonius in hies intellectual and social environment. He was one of those learned men of the Early Empire who combined a literary with a public career. Unlike Tacitus, he aimed to write biography, not history; and since history dealt with war and politics whereas biography handled the personality and achievements of individuals, he felt no need to burden his readers with chronological details or comprehensive narratives. His method was to emphasise the anecdotal as it reveals the individual. To this end he used mundane, unpretentious language, not the elevated epic style of history, To regard Suetonius as a mere scandalmonger is grotesque. His outlook was that of an upper class Roman intention on the traditional values of his class, and he judged every Caesar by the extent to which he promoted such values. Suetonius in fact is the mirror to contemporary ?mores?, and Wallace-Hadrill?s refreshing approach to him is one that no social, or other historian of the Roman Empire can afford to ignore.? (E. TOTGO SALMON in Classical World, 1985, p.616).…

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. 1981 Oxford University Press hardcover edition. Ex library copy with stamps and labels else good condition. From the dustjacket: Sir Richard Southern was a fellow and tutor of Balliol College, Oxford, from 1937 to 1961, Chichele Professor of Modern History from 1961 to 1969, and since 1969 has been President of St. John's College, Oxford. In this book will be found seventeen essays by his old pupils on various aspects of a subject which he made particularly his own, The Writing of History in the Middle Ages. Ranging from the eighth century to the fifteenth, and from Scotland to Byzantium, the essays illustrate both the unity and the breadth of Sir Richard's teaching. Norman and Anglo-Norman historians (from Worcester to Bec-Hellouin, and Bec-Hellouin to Salerno) receive special attention, but there are also studies of confession and sermons as historical sources; of legal history and chivalrous history; of German town chroniclers; and of the biographer of King Henry VI. All these essays are original contributions to their subject, containing new material, and in several cases preparing the ground for new editions. In some measure they illustrate the combination of profound scholarship, sympathetic understanding, and literary form which are the hallmarks of Sir Richard's own work.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Suetonius, a Roman historian, was the author of The Lives of the Caesars - one of the most vivid surviving documents of the early Roma empire. His biographies illuminate not only the political history of the twelve rulers from Julius Caesar to Domitian, but also the whole social and cultural world to which these Caesar's belonged. In the first major study of Suetonius in English, Andrew Wallace-Hadrill places the biographer in the context of tastes and intellectual currents of the early second century AD, and uses the portraits of earlier emperors to cast light on the values and ideology of the court of the emperors Trajan and Hadrian whom he served.Thanks to Suetonius' attentions to the personal lives of the Caesar's, their tastes, sexual preferences, and superstitions, and his neglect of grand affairs of state and military narrative , he has been underrated as a serious historical source and compared unfavourably with his contemporary, the historian Tacitus. Wallace-Hadrill looks freshly at Suetonius in his own terms as a scholarly and antiquarian writer rather than a failed narrative historian. He shows how biographies reveal aspects of early imperial society and culture which Tacitus' narrative neglects, and how important he is as a source for the current generations of historians, interested as much in a society and culture as in politics and warfare.…
