"Alas, thou has misconstrued everything!!" Timothy Mooney presents the companion book to his celebrated performance of his one-man play, "Breakneck Julius Caesar." Both play, and interpretive guide, "The Breakneck Julius Caesar Companion" presents all the background needed to make sense of one of Shakespeare's most challenging plays, all the while demonstrating how very wrong we have gotten this play over all these years! "The Breakneck Julius Caesar Companion" is like a wild trip inside the mind of an amazing Shakespearean performer, as he picks apart the misleading cues that have led students and scholars down blind alleys which have caused "millions of undergraduates" to miss just how wry, witty, fun, dramatic and sometimes scathing this play can be! Mooney unravels characters that you think you know, to discover hidden secrets, ploys, and postures that bubble underneath all the choices these wildly inconsistent and unreliable characters make! Presented here, in full, Mooney's original play, "Breakneck Julius Caesar" is the fastest, most epic, insightful, funniest introduction to one of Shakespeare's most misunderstood works! Both play and history lesson, "Breakneck Julius Caesar" opens the door to understanding the context and character nuances driving the action. Jumping from some of Shakespeare's richest, most profound poetry to Mooney's hilarious modern perspective, "Breakneck Julius Caesar" gives the precise facts we need to make the many levels of intrigue come vividly alive! It's a go-to resource and the perfect starting point to finally "get" this amazing play... with an ending that flies in the face of everything you think that you know about Julius Caesar!! Meanwhile, "The Breakneck Julius Caesar Companion" tracks Mooney's historical research, plot, acting and character notes alongside the text of the script itself, enabling us to follow, on a moment-by-moment basis, the answers to questions that have confused Shakespeare scholars for ages! Mooney explains just why every production of "Julius Caesar" you have ever seen has probably left you feeling vaguely unsatisfied! He traces the sources of the action back five centuries as the reign of the hated "Tarquins" came to a close in 509 B.C., underlines exactly why the Romans hated kings as much as they did, and just why Caesar's reign had become such a threat to the Senators. Mooney dissects just why the character of Brutus seems to be such a contradiction unto himself, and what crucial understanding of Brutus can enable us to unlock that puzzle. And, Mooney manages to squeeze in some funny jokes along the way. Which may be the best part.

A fascinating, comprehensive biography of the cunning Roman conqueror Julius Caesar. More than two thousand years after his death, Julius Caesar remains one of the great figures of history. He shaped Rome for generations, and his name became a synonym for “emperor”—not only in Rome but as far away as Germany and Russia. He is best known as the general who defeated the Gauls and doubled the size of Rome’s territories. But, as Philip Freeman describes in this fascinating new biography, Caesar was also a brilliant orator, an accomplished writer, a skilled politician, and much more. Julius Caesar was a complex man, both hero and villain. He possessed great courage, ambition, honor, and vanity. Born into a noble family that had long been in decline, he advanced his career cunningly, beginning as a priest and eventually becoming Rome’s leading general. He made alliances with his rivals and then discarded them when it suited him. He was a spokesman for the ordinary people of Rome, who rallied around him time and again, but he profited enormously from his conquests and lived opulently. Eventually he was murdered in one of the most famous assassinations in history. Caesar’s contemporaries included some of Rome’s most famous figures, from the generals Marius, Sulla, and Pompey to the orator and legislator Cicero as well as the young politicians Mark Antony and Octavius (later Caesar Augustus). Caesar’s legendary romance with the Egyptian queen Cleopatra still fascinates us today. In this splendid biography, Freeman presents Caesar in all his dimensions and contradictions. With remarkable clarity and brevity, Freeman shows how Caesar dominated a newly powerful Rome and shaped its destiny. This book will captivate readers discovering Caesar and ancient Rome for the first time as well as those who have a deep interest in the classical world.

Moliere's cast has all come down with food poisoning! Worse… They've been to see doctors and, as such, are now confined to bed! This leaves Moliere to entertain the audience all by himself (praying that no one asks for a refund…)! And so, he proceeds to lead them through his favorite monologues and scenes: "Tartuffe," "The Misanthrope," "Don Juan," "The Bourgeois Gentleman," "The School for Wives," "The Precious Young Maidens," "The Doctor in Spite of Himself," "The Imaginary Cuckold," "The Schemings of Scapin," and "The Imaginary Invalid." He plays scenes to unexpecting audience members, pulls volunteers from the audience, and climbs over the audience' laps, while working his way through the funniest theatrical catalogue in history! Timothy Mooney, living a "parallel existence with France's greatest playwright, has not only rewritten most of Moliere's plays into fresh rhymed iambic pentameter, but, playing Moliere, in "Moliere Than Thou," has introduced over a hundred thousand people to the man who is, perhaps, the funniest playwright of all time!

Winner of the New Scholars Book Award from the American Educational Research Association Debates continue to rage over whether American university students should be required to master a common core of knowledge. In The Culture of Classicism: Ancient Greece and Rome in American Intellectual Life, 1780–1910, Caroline Winterer traces the emergence of the classical model that became standard in the American curriculum in the nineteenth century and now lies at the core of contemporary controversies. By closely examining university curricula and the writings of classical scholars, Winterer demonstrates how classics was transformed from a narrow, language-based subject to a broader study of civilization, persuasively arguing that we cannot understand both the rise of the American university and modern notions of selfhood and knowledge without an appreciation for the role of classicism in their creation.

Autobiographical works can take many forms, from the intimate writings made during life that were not necessarily intended for publication (including letters, diaries, journals, memoirs, and reminiscences) to a formal book-length autobiography. Reading an autobiography can offer a unique insight into a world and experience very different from your own — and these real-life stories are even more entertaining, and stranger, than fiction.
