Michael Grant's "The Twelve Caesars"
[ send me this paper ]
4 pages in length. Michael Grant's version of Suetonius' "The Twelve Caesars" possesses many important components of social marginalization that, if not taken in their direct context, will be overlooked by the average reader. It is essential to also look beyond the author's obvious intention with regard to the story's overall meaning so as not to miss the grand but elusive subtleties. To be sure, Suetonius' writing incorporated a significant amount of blatancy while also implying considerable obscurity, a dichotomy that has served to be the cornerstone of the author's works, which have successfully stood the test of time. Without question, "The Twelve Caesars" provides a unique insight into the relationships that exist between and among various gender/cultural restrictions as they existed in ancient society. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
