The first-century emperor Claudius did not leave the fledgling
Roman Empire as he had found it: his contribution was to turn its
developing institutions into an imperial tradition. But the ancient
sources represent him as an odd personality - active but
manipulated by his inferiors, at once distracted and awkward and
cruel. Suetonius' biography is a rich offering of both solid fact
and the prejudicial anecdotes that his contemporaries and the
generation that followed thought worth repeating, raw material for
exploring the man and his reign. This commentary provides context
for the text's abundant information, but form is not neglected, and
attention is given to Suetonius' intelligent and conscious
marshalling of his material, and guidance offered to students
reading the biographer's often densely compressed style. This is
the first English commentary on the Claudius Life to deal with both
historical and stylistic issues.
