Book Overview

by Suetonius (Author), Donna W. Hurley (Editor)

This volume presents the Latin text, accompanied by an introduction and a detailed commentary, of the biography of the emperor Claudius written by the early second-century AD author Suetonius. The commentary provides context for the factual and anecdotal information given in the text and also explains the author's method of composition and provides help with difficult grammatical points. The introduction contains sections on Suetonius, Claudius, and the text itself. This is the first English commentary on the Claudius Life to deal with both historical and stylistic issues.

About Suetonius

Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus was probably born in AD 69--the so-called "year of the four Emperors." He was described by Suetonius's patron Pliny the Younger as a reserved and scholarly man whose great passion in life was literature. His abilities won him a high position in the imperial secretariat. He served the emperor Hadrian as the emperor's personal amanuensis, before being dismissed in obscure circumstances following a scandal that involved Hadrian's wife. Suetonius seems to have lived to a good age and probably died around the year 140.
