Plutarch's Life of Caesar deals with the best known Roman of them
all, Julius Caesar, and his vivid narrative covers most of the
major events of the last generation of the Republic, as well as
painting an insightful picture of this man who sacrificed
everything for power. Pelling's volume gives a new translation of
the Life together with a full introduction and running commentary
on the events it describes. Culminating in the crossing of the
Rubicon, Caesar's victory in the Civil War, and finally his
assassination on the Ides of March, 44 BC, it goes on to trace the
first stages of the new phase of civil war which followed and, in
its turn, led to the establishment of the principate. The volume
also discusses both the historical and the literary aspects of the
Life, relating it both to the broader history of the Republic and
to Plutarch's other works, especially the Life of Alexander with
which it forms a pair of Parallel Lives. A separate section of the
Introduction also discusses Shakespeare's adaptation of Plutarch in
Julius Caesar, and points out ways in which the subtle remoulding
of Plutarch's material can illuminate the techniques and interests
of both authors.
