The Tragedy of Julius Caesar is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in 1599. It portrays the 44 BC conspiracy against the Roman dictator Julius Caesar, his assassination and the defeat of the conspirators at the Battle of Philippi. It is one of several plays written by Shakespeare based on true events from Roman history, which also include Coriolanus and Antony and Cleopatra. Although the title is Julius Caesar, Julius Caesar is not the most visible character in its action; he appears in only five scenes. Marcus Brutus speaks more than four times as many lines and the central psychological drama is his struggle between the conflicting demands of honour, patriotism and friendship. [mehr]

To The Student Of Political History, And To The English Student Above All Others, The Conversion Of The Roman Republic Into A Military Empire Commands A Peculiar Interest. Notwithstanding Many Differences, The English And The Romans Essentially Resemble One Another. The Early Romans Possessed The Faculty Of Self-Government Beyond Any People Of Whom We Have Historical Knowledge, With The One Exception Of Ourselves. In Virtue Of Their Temporal Freedom, They Became The Most Powerful Nation In The Known World; And Their Liberties Perished Only When Rome Became The Mistress Of Conquered Races, To Whom She Was Unable Or Unwilling To Extend Her Privileges. If England Was Similarly Supreme, If All Rival Powers Were Eclipsed By Her Or Laid Under Her Feet, The Imperial Tendencies, Which Are As Strongly Marked In Us As Our Love Of Liberty, Might Lead Us Over The Same Course To The Same End. If There Be One Lesson Which History Clearly Teaches, It Is This, That Free Nations Cannot Govern Subject Provinces. If They Are Unable Or Unwilling To Admit Their Dependencies To Share Their Own Constitution, The Constitution Itself Will Fall In Pieces From Mere Incompetence For Its Duties. [mehr]

It Was The Roman Month Of September, Seven Hundred And Four Years After Romulus--So Tradition Ran--Founded The Little Village By The Tiber Which Was To Become "Mother Of Nations," "Centre Of The World," "Imperial Rome." To State The Time According To Modern Standards It Was July, Fifty Years Before The Beginning Of The Christian Era. The Fierce Italian Sun Was Pouring Down Over The Tilled Fields And Stretches Of Woodland And Grazing Country That Made Up The Landscape, And The Atmosphere Was Almost Aglow With The Heat. The Dust Lay Thick On The Pavement Of The Highway, And Rose In Dense, Stifling Clouds, As A Mule, Laden With Farm Produce And Driven By A Burly Countryman, Trudged Reluctantly Along. [mehr]

James Anthony Froude (/ˈfruːd/ frood;[1][2] 23 April 1818 – 20 October 1894) was an English historian, novelist, biographer, and editor of Fraser's Magazine. From his upbringing amidst the Anglo-Catholic Oxford Movement, Froude intended to become a clergyman, but doubts about the doctrines of the Anglican church, published in his scandalous 1849 novel The Nemesis of Faith, drove him to abandon his religious career. Froude turned to writing history, becoming one of the best known historians of his time for his History of England from the Fall of Wolsey to the Defeat of the Spanish Armada.[3] Inspired by Thomas Carlyle, Froude's historical writings were often fiercely polemical, earning him a number of outspoken opponents. Froude continued to be controversial up until his death for his Life of Carlyle, which he published along with personal writings of Thomas and Jane Welsh Carlyle. These publications illuminated Carlyle's often selfish personality, and led to persistent gossip and discussion of the couple's marital problems. [mehr]

William Stearns Davis (April 30, 1877 – February 15, 1930) was an American educator, historian, and author. He has been cited as one who “contributed to history as a scholarly discipline, . . . [but] was intrigued by the human side of history, which, at the time, was neglected by the discipline.”[1] After first experimenting with short stories, he turned while still a college undergraduate to longer forms to relate, from an involved (fictional) character’s view, a number of critical turns of history. This faculty for humanizing, even dramatizing, history characterized Davis’ later academic and professional writings as well, making them particularly suitable for secondary and higher education during the first half of the twentieth century in a field which, according to one editor, had “lost the freshness and robustness . . . the congeniality”[2] that should mark the study of history. Both Davis’ fiction and non-fiction are found in public and academic libraries today. [mehr]
