Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. "Gaius Gracchus" is a Dramatic Verse Tragedy about one of Ancient Rome's Most Illustrious Citizens written by Odin Gregory. The book has an Introduction by Theodore Dreiser. Do you find yourself lamenting the absence of "High Literature" from today's lists? Here is a rich dramatic work that just may appeal to you! J. G. Robin, writing under the pseudonym of Odin Gregory made somewhat of a splash in the literary world with his metrical verse tragedy focusing on political intrigues of ancient Rome. The book was endowed with gravitas by the presence of an Introduction written by Theodore Dreiser, famous author of "Sister Carrie" and "An American Tragedy". Dreiser's Introduction is interesting, in itself, and well worth the cost of admission for that alone. TITLE : Caius Gracchus - A Tragedy AUTHOR : Odin Gregory [ Pseudonym of J. G.
