Major figures in the civil wars that ended the Roman Republic, the
names Pompey, Caesar, Cicero, Brutus and Antony haunt us with
questions of character and authority. Plutarch's rich, vivid
profiles show character-shaping history through grand scale events
and intimate details. The creator and master of the biographical
form, Plutarch locates character in small gestures such as Brutus's
punctilious use of money or Caesar's plainspoken discourse. In this
reader's edition, the translation lends a straightforward clarity
to the prose and the notes identify people, places and events in
the text. The substantial introduction and foreword explore
Plutarch as an historical figure and the history of the Republic's
fall.
