Claudius Tiberius Nero: A Critical Edition of the Play Published Anonymously in 1607 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783820414271)

Published some two years after Ben Jonson's famous Roman play Seianus His Fall, the anonymous Claudius Tiberius Nero (1607) covers the whole period of the notorious Tiberius' reign (14 - 37 A.D.). The anonymous dramatist, who is well seene in Antiquities, but most especially inward with Cornelius Tacitus , presents a chronicle play revelling in malicious designs, sombre plans and bloody outrages. This critical old-spelling edition of a hitherto neglected Roman play contains a text, notes, both textual and explanatory, a detailed introduction by the editor, and five appendices with a wealth of comparative material.
