‘Agricola’ by Tacitus | The Wolbong Review
https://wolbongreview.wordpress.com/2014/12/29/agricola-by-tacitus-2
Paul Cunningham is a writer. He writes from a room on Wolbong. 8216;Agricola’ by Tacitus. December 29, 2014. December 29, 2014. Tacitus is not detached. He worked under Domitian himself and saw many of the best men of the senate, those who dared defy the emperor, judicially murdered. His career during that period must have been ridden with humiliation and fear. But the thesis of Agricola. In its entirety fills barely thirty pages, but ounce for ounce, it ranks with the greatest of his work. It contai...

‘Germany’ by Tacitus | The Wolbong Review
https://wolbongreview.wordpress.com/2015/03/06/germany-by-tacitus
Paul Cunningham is a writer. He writes from a room on Wolbong. 8216;Germany’ by Tacitus. March 6, 2015. March 6, 2015. During the reign of Domitian, when books were being burned and their authors killed, Tacitus wrote nothing. His nature was such that anything he could honourably have put his name to would have been proscribed. Better to stay silent than to write dross. Even. A man could think what he liked and say what he thought, that such writing would not have been taken for treason. The aforemention...

‘The Gallic War’ by Caesar | The Wolbong Review
https://wolbongreview.wordpress.com/2014/12/19/the-gallic-war-by-caesar-trans-carolyn-hammond
Paul Cunningham is a writer. He writes from a room on Wolbong. 8216;The Gallic War’ by Caesar. December 19, 2014. December 20, 2014. It was Alexandre Dumas who first put me on to Caesar’s commentaries when he had Luigi Vampa, the bandit king in The Count of Monte Cristo. Declaring them to be his favourite read. I suspect Dumas was having a dig there: if you are a bandit king looking for inspiration, who better to turn to than Caesar? And something gets lost in the translation. Virtus. Fill in your detail...

Paul Cunningham is a writer. He writes from a room on Wolbong. 8216;Caesar’ by Allan Massie. November 24, 2014. December 12, 2014. Which I have avoided since it covers the same events as my own novel, and I still don’t want to have to measure myself against it. Massie’s knowledge of the period is consummate and lightly worn. Caesar. Recently. In these commentaries he refers to Brutus as ‘young Decimus Brutus’. Now, this might mean nothing, but it’s noticeable that he doesn’t say, for example, ‘yo...Is a ...
