POWER, T.G., and R.K. GIBSON, (eds.), Suetonius the Biographer. Studies in Roman Lives. Oxford University Press, 2018. 1st paperback ed. XII,338p. Paperback. Tristan Power and Roy Gibson, the editors of this new collection of thirteen lively essays, Suetonius the Biographer, seek to put the author in the spotlight by directing the critical focus squarely back to his craft as a biographer. By meeting Suetonius on his own terms, the contributors aim to clarify how and why he is an innovative writer still worth reading today . . . as this stimulating collection of essays demonstrates, looking below the surface of Suetonius's text into the inner workings of the author's mind is richly rewarding.

It is dedicated to the memory of Sir Ronald Some, who died on 4 September 1989 (…) The distinction of many of the contributors and the care of the editors have produced a work that has more unity, higher quality, and for long stretches a larger field of view than many such current fashionable ‘instant books’.’ (JOHN CARTER in The Journal of Roman Studies, 1991, p.201).

RASMUSSEN, D., Caesars Commentarii. Stil und Stilwandel am Beispiel der direkten Rede. Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, Göttingen, 1963. 203p. Carton cover with dust wrps. ‘Caesarian scholarship (…) has unitarians and analysts. The latter, who maintain that BG 1-7 were published separately, have stressed the variation in style. But Rasmussen finds in stylistic change an argument for their unity and simultaneous publication: Caeasr’s Stilwandel is gradual, as is seen especially in the ‘orations rectae’. (…) Rasmussen has been eminently successful. If I was skeptical at first about certain details, I was usually convinced as I read on and saw all the interrelations. (…) This is a thorough monograph.’ (E.L. BASSETT in The Classical World, 1964, pp.88-89). € 18.00 (Antiquarian)
