Description

In his Commentarii de Bello Civili Julius Caesar sought to re-invent his image and appear before his present and future readers in a way which he could control and at times manipulate. Offering a new interpretation of the Bellum Civile, this book reveals the intricate literary world that Caesar creates using sophisticated techniques. Each book is examined independently to set out the gradual transformation of Caesar's literary persona, in step with his ascent in the 'real' world. Employing detailed philological analyses of Caesar's works, this volume significantly advances our understanding of Caesar as author and politician.
