Abstract

Trollope's Cicero
July 28, 1881 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the book "Life of Cicero," by Anthony Trollope. It is no intrusion when a novelist like Mr. Trollope appears in the ranks of the historians, especially a novelist so distinguished for simplicity and truthfulness of delineation. The book is not a mere biography, nor is it simply as an accurate picture of a man and his times that its author would have it judged. In fact, the principal fault of the book is that he recurs too often to his theme, and that too large a proportion of space is given to arguing in Roman philosopher Marcus Tullius Cicero's vindication at one period of his life after another.
