Book description

When Cleopatra expresses a desire to die 'after the high Roman fashion', acting in accordance with 'what's brave, what's noble', Shakespeare is suggesting that there are certain values that are characteristically Roman. The use of the terms 'Rome' and 'Roman' in Julius Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra or Jonson's Sejanus often carry the implication that most people fail to live up to this ideal of conduct, that very few Romans are worthy of the name. In this book Chernaik demonstrates how, in these plays, Roman values are held up to critical scrutiny. The plays of Shakespeare, Jonson, Massinger and Chapman often present a much darker image of Rome, as exemplifying barbarism rather than civility. Through a comparative analysis of the Roman plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries, and including detailed discussion of the classical historians Livy, Tacitus and Plutarch, this study examines the uses of Roman history - 'the myth of Rome' - in Shakespeare's age.

Reviews

'… brilliant new readings … Chernaik's readings of Shakespeare show how historicism and close reading work together … On Massinger, Chernaik is dazzling in his textual and historical precision …'

N. Lukachev Source: Choice

'… a rich comparative study that surveys Roman stories and motifs in many plays … Chernaik suggests that as long as the English had questions about their own society, they would continue to write about, and debate, the meaning of Rome …'

Peter Parolin Source: Renaissance Quarterly

'Warren Chernaik’s The Myth of Rome in Shakespeare and his Contemporaries truly lives up to the breadth of material suggested by the title. … Chernaik places Shakespeare’s plays and poems about Rome in full conversation with other contemporary works on the subject. … [He] lends us, the readers, his incredible expertise, so that we too can glimpse the complexity of what Rome meant for an early modern audience.'
