Augustus Hare

sidottu
First published in 1985, in this book Malcolm Barnes, the editor of Augustus Hare’s autobiography, tries to elucidate: a man who wrote much about others, but little of consequence about himself in spite of the longest ‘story of my life’ in the English language. When Augustus Hare published the first part of his autobiography in 1896, it was received with anger and abuse. He was attacked because he had told the truth about his treatment as a child by his adoptive family at the Rectory of Herstmonceux, where in the interest of his immortal soul he was subjected to all kinds of physical and mental torment.He grew up through a hopeless youth, tied irrevocably to his ‘mother’, to become an enthusiastic traveller and writer of many guidebooks and accomplished water colourist, a writer of memorials of several ‘noble’ ladies, and an indefatigable party goer. He himself remained an enigma. This book is an interesting read for scholars and researchers of English literature.

Augustus to Nero (Routledge Revivals)

Augustus to Nero (Routledge Revivals)

sidottu
The years from the battle of Actium to the death of Nero stand at the very heart of Roman history. Yet the sources of this key period, particularly the inscriptions, papyri and coins, are not readily accessible. Crucial new discoveries remain buried in learned periodicals, and now that the study of the ancient world is widespread among those without Latin and Greek, the lack of translations is proving a serious handicap. Augustus to Nero, first published in 1985, contains numerous texts not only for students of traditional political history, but also of those interested in social and economic history. An introductory essay establishes a broad methodological framework within which each text may be understood. The focus throughout is on less well-known literary evidence: for example, the significant poetry of Crinagoras and Calpurnius Siculus. Inaccessible sources are here collected and translated: brief notes are supplied to help the reader.
