"The first analysis of Julius Caesar's self-representation in his Commentaries, from the point of view of how the themes and characterisation have been appropriated or contested by major dramatic representations"--

Table of Contents:

• "I am he": aspects of Caesar's self-representation in the commentaries
• Efficient benevolence, the shadow of hubris and an Eastern infatuation
• "For always I am Caesar": performative actualization of Caesar's self-styled image and illeism as a marker of self-institutionalization
• Transhistorical and quasi-divine: Caesar connecting the threads of time.
