Julius Caesar: The Civil War Books I & II: Books I and II (Aris & Phillips Classical Texts) - Softcover
Synopsis
Julius Caesar's own narrative of the opening year of the Civil War between himself and Pompey is the only surviving account from the classical world of such a conflict written by one of the principals. The apparent clarity of the narrative, and the limpidity and economy of Caesar's style, in fact conceal a tendentious presentation of both his own and his opponent’s motives, actions and competence. The influence of dramatic structures on the selection and combination of events related by Caesar is also important. The commentary therefore aims to elucidate not only matters directly referred to in the text, but the whole context of their presentation. Latin text with facing-page translation, introduction and commentary. First published in 1991, the paperback was reprinted with minor corrections in 2003.

Aris & Phillips, Warminster, n.d.(>1990). VII,242p. Paperback. Spine with light reading trace. Upper edge rust stained. ?This is a welcome addition to ?Bellum Civile? texts and commentaries, even for this who have access to the fuller ctritical apparatus in the Fabre (Budé) edition. Carter does not claim to present a definitive text based on his own collation, but an eclectic one, based on the Fabre apparatus and other published evidence. (?) The Latin text is accompanied by a smooth translation. The best part of the volume is the lengthy and very useful commentary. There are general summaries of sections which Carter calls ?chains of action?; each chain is placed chronologically in relation to the end of the previous chain The distortion in cause and effect caused by the overlapping is carefully noted. All people who are mentioned are identified, as far as possible; their political relationships to Pompey or Caesar are indicated. (?) Carter is equally good in outlining military strategy and tactics. He suggests sources for accounts of events at which Caesar was not present, and indicates the effect on literary style. Finally, a list of proper names is provided. The introduction summarises the background of the war and the origin of the antagonism between Caesar and Pompey. (?) There are balanced examination of the circumstances of publication of the ?Bellum Civile?, and good discussions of the literary style and narrative technique. (.) The cross-referencing to events mentioned by Cicero makes this an attractive and easy-to-use source.? (MARY ANN T. NATUNEWICZ in The Classical World 1992, pp.715-716). Seller Inventory # 63833
