Julius Caesar created a myth that lives today, and here Rex Warner describes how it came into being. "He has captured with quite extraordinary skill the deceptively quiet yet deeply illuminating quality of Caesar's style" (C. V. Wedgwood). The book was awarded the 1960 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction and was praised by John Davenport as "delightfully perceptive and funny", and by Storm Jameson as "brilliant, intelligent, continuously interesting. It has everything."
