Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lays of Ancient Rome A lay is a brief poem usually narrating some deed of daring, the exploit of one man, or the achievement of a whole nation. The word is the same as the old French lai and seems originally to have meant a song, in the period of the Middle Ages when almost all poetry was sung, or chanted, to the accompaniment of some musical instrument. We, who read these tales in print to-day, miss the splendor that attended them in olden times when there were in existence only a few books, all laboriously copied by hand, and when it was the custom for people to gather in some spacious hall, or some open street, to hear the minstrel recite his heroic stories with the utmost dramatic effectiveness of voice and gesture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller A New York Times Notable Book Named one of the Best Books of the Year by the Wall Street Journal, the Economist, Foreign Affairs, and Kirkus Reviews Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award (Nonfiction) Shortlisted for the Cundill Prize in Historical Literature Finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize (History) A San Francisco Chronicle Holiday Gift Guide Selection A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice Selection A sweeping, "magisterial" history of the Roman Empire from one of our foremost classicists shows why Rome remains "relevant to people many centuries later" (Atlantic). In SPQR, an instant classic, Mary Beard narrates the history of Rome "with passion and without technical jargon" and demonstrates how "a slightly shabby Iron Age village" rose to become the "undisputed hegemon of the Mediterranean" (Wall Street Journal). Hailed by critics as animating "the grand sweep and the intimate details that bring the distant past vividly to life" (Economist) in a way that makes "your hair stand on end" (Christian Science Monitor) and spanning nearly a thousand years of history, this "highly informative, highly readable" (Dallas Morning News) work examines not just how we think of ancient Rome but challenges the comfortable historical perspectives that have existed for centuries. With its nuanced attention to class, democratic struggles, and the lives of entire groups of people omitted from the historical narrative for centuries, SPQR will to shape our view of Roman history for decades to come.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lays of Ancient Rome: Essays and Poems Introduction to their Everyman reprint of the Lays of Ancient Rome and the Miscellanies here combined in one volume. Of the Miscellanies in verse and prose, published the year after his death, I shall speak later. But the Lays of Ancient Rome, with Ivry and The Armada, had been published by Macaulay himself nearly twenty years before(1842). Matthew Arnold and others attacked the Lays, judging them by the irrelevant standard of the highest flights of poetry. But judged for what they are, ballads, they are masterly, and deserved the immense popularity they enjoyed with two generations of Englishmen. In those days ever 1 schoolboy knew them, and many both young and old had them by heart. From them young people learnt to take pleasure in the sound and rhythm of verse, which helped them later to enjoy other greater poets. I do not think that the oblivion into which the Lays have since fallen has been an advantage to literature. It is absurd to look in Macaulays Lays for the highest qualities and subtlest tones of lyrical poetry, and to cry out on him as a Philistine because they are not there. Such an outcry is not criticism. Why look for grapes on a fig-tree? But it is to be oneself strangely insensitive, not to respond to the trumpet call that rings in the thirty-sixth stanza of Lake Regillus, or to the stir of a nation rising in the Armada night. Noris the vigour of narrative style the only merit of the Lays: Macaulay has succeeded in giving an emotional value to names, places, ancient customs, and forms of life and to all the lore of the antiquary and the historian. In this way he made the English public for two generations more lovingly familiar with the names and legends of the ancient Roman Republic than they are ever likely to be under more modern tutoring.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What made the Romans laugh? Was ancient Rome a carnival, filled with practical jokes and hearty chuckles? Or was it a carefully regulated culture in which the uncontrollable excess of laughter was a force to fear—a world of wit, irony, and knowing smiles? How did Romans make sense of laughter? What role did it play in the world of the law courts, the imperial palace, or the spectacles of the arena? Laughter in Ancient Rome explores one of the most intriguing, but also trickiest, of historical subjects. Drawing on a wide range of Roman writing—from essays on rhetoric to a surviving Roman joke book—Mary Beard tracks down the giggles, smirks, and guffaws of the ancient Romans themselves. From ancient “monkey business” to the role of a chuckle in a culture of tyranny, she explores Roman humor from the hilarious, to the momentous, to the surprising. But she also reflects on even bigger historical questions. What kind of history of laughter can we possibly tell? Can we ever really “get” the Romans’ jokes?
