A classic selection of nine 'lives' which range from the start of
the republic to the dawn of the empire. Three famous histories
which are crucial background for Shakespeare scholars are included:
Coriolanus, Brutus and Mark Antony. The introduction covers
Plutarch's themes - the tenacity of the Roman people and their gift
for compromise - and his gifts as a biographer; a helpful appendix
deals specifically with the Antony and Cleopatra background; and
there are also maps. The translation is of the usual high standard
for Penguin Classics, readable in itself and enhanced with
sufficient footnotes to clarify the text. A vital handbook for
students and fascinating also for the general reader. (Kirkus UK)
Nine of Plutarch's Roman Lives--Coriolanus, Fabius Maximus, Marcellus, Cato the Elder, Tiberius Gracchus, Gaius Gracchus, Sertorius, Brutus, and Mark Antony--illustrate the courage and tenacity of the Romans in war and their genius for political compromise, from the earliest years of the Republic to the establishment of the Empire.
