POLITICAL SCIENCE . POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY
“In this, his second book on Julius Caesar (his first, in 1993, The End of the Ancient
Republic: Shakespeare's Julius Caesar), Jan H. Blits confutes long-held assumptions that
Shakespeare’s Romans are merely Elizabethans dressed in togas. Blits illuminates the
political significance of the play by exploiting his familiarity with scores of classical Greek
and Latin authors, drawing upon a learning unmatched in Shakespearean scholarship for
its comprehensiveness, as well as for its discernment.”
—JOHN ALVIS, University of Dallas
“By the end of Blits’s book on Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, the Roman Republic has,
so to speak, committed suicide in the persons of its leaders, Brutus and Cassius, 'who
killed themselves in excessive haste.’ So culminates Blits’s series of studies, in which he
examines Shakespeare’s presentation, in a poem and three dramas, of the institution and
the demise of the Roman Republic. Blits offers an act-by-act, scene-by-scene, sometimes
even line-by-line interpretation of the play. It is informed by an unusual view, in opposition
to much current scholarship, of Shakespeare as a superb rather than a flawed historian.
Blits shows that the poet is accurate in historical detail and acute in political insight—
that poetry has the power to penetrate historical persons and events. In staying clear of
theoretical impositions and in attempting to understand the poet in his own terms, Blits
succeeds in bringing out the play’s subtlety and depth.”
—EVA T. H. BRANN, St. John’s College
Rome and the Spirit of Caesar: Shakespeare's Julius Caesar is a thorough examination of
Shakespeare’s presentation of the final throes of republican Rome’s political decay and
demise and the rise of Caesarism.
As in his previous studies of Shakespeare’s plays, Jan H. Blits, pursuing his distinc-
tive approach, follows Caesar through, scene-by-scene, speech-by-speech, line-by-line,
reaching his conclusions by closely examining Shakespeare’s text. Approaching the play
as a coherent whole, he examines it in the light of its parts and the parts in the light of the
whole. Since each presupposes the other, he considers the whole and its parts together.
He carefully relates the play’s details to its major themes and grounds the themes in, and
supports them with, the details.
While intruding no literary theory on the play, Blits brings out the historical and perennial
political substance that Shakespeare deliberately put into it. He shows that Julius Caesar is
a work of historical poetry, shaped by Shakespeare’s mastery of the Roman histories and
the Hellenistic philosophies bearing directly on his subject. |
