	I, Claudius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		I, Claudius is a novel by Robert Graves, (ISBN 067972477X) first published in 1934, dealing sympathetically with the life of the Roman Emperor Claudius and the history of the Julio-Claudian Dynasty and Roman Empire, from Julius Caesar's assassination in 44 BC to Caligula's assassination in 41 AD.
		Graves continued his tale (from Claudius' accession after Caligula's death to his death in 54 AD, as well as a segue involving the early life of Herod Agrippa) in Claudius the God (1935).
		The message of the story appears to concern the relationship between liberty (as demonstrated by the Roman Republic, and the dedication to its ideals shown by Augustus and young Claudius) and stability (as demonstrated by Empress Livia, Herod Agrippa, and the elder Claudius).

	Claudius the God : And His Wife Messalina (Vintage International): Current Amazon U.S.A. One-Edition Data
		Derek Jacobi is perfect as Claudius, both as the aging Emperor and the young and gawky historian, and Sian Phillips brings the character of Livia to malevolent life with her portrayal of the woman behind the throne.
		Claudius escaped much of the political intrigue and was seen as a harmless outsider due to his physical impediments, which helped mask his intellectual capabilities and cunning insight into the actions of others.
		Claudius was not the intellectual saintly character protrayed in theses novels--true, he wasn't nearly as bad as his predecessor Caligula or his successor Nero, but he had shortcomings that are often ignored for lacking the glamour of the evils of the two emperors who bookend his reign.

		Claudius the God : And His Wife Messalina (Vintage International) Review: Claudius the God, sequel to I, Claudius, can't be as well-received as the former due to its very premise.
		Graves masterfully develops the character of Claudius as he ponders his life and impresses his thoughts on to his "autobiography." The reader is then taken through the ambitions and palatial intrigues of his reign.
		With this insight, Claudius is soon appreciated by the reader as having a keen intellect as opposed to being dull and slow of wit.

		This does not mean that Claudius the God--which concerns itself with the years of Claudius' rule--is a lesser work, merely more detailed and introspective, and therefore less attractive to a television audience.
		Based on two novels by Robert Graves, I, Claudius was a groundbreaking miniseries, and is still today considered by some to be the totem by which all other miniseries are measured.
		Claudius was long considered an idiot because he was born with a limp and a pronounced stammer (which Jacobi illustrates wholly sympathetically).

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Claudius the God at Epinions.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		At the conclusion of I, Claudius, the Praetorian Guard assassinates crazy Caligula (for those of you who are unfamiliar with Roman history, the Praetorian Guard are the emperor’s bodyguards) and replaces him with the closest relative of the Imperial family, that poor historian Claudius.
		In Claudius the God, we are given the impression, as I have hinted before, that Rome is a vile center of the world, where no morals remain and whoever dares to oppose the Imperial family is guaranteed a quick voyage to the underworld.
		Another disadvantage of Claudius the God is that the action is seldom and slow, and most of the book is a narrative recounting the exploits of Claudius the emperor during his tedious reign.

		Graves was a passionate student of antiquity, both the Greeks and the Romans, and his goal in writing I, CLAUDIUS was to chronicle the period in Roman history immediately after the collapse of the republic and near the beginning of the rule of the Caesars.
		I, CLAUDIUS did not inspire a host of imitations among the other top fictional writers in the past century, but Graves did prove that it is a genre that still has potential to inspire, entertain, and educate.
		This, combined with "Claudius the God", is an intense historical fiction of the reigns of the Caesars from Augustus to the end of Claudius.

		And while the great pride he takes in his enterprise is evident, both the style of his rule and the tone of his narrative is characterized by a wry and self-deprecating humor.
		Herod Agrippa is a charming rogue and schemer who, while genuinely fond of Claudius, teases him mercilessly for being a fool and warns him, as it turns out in all seriousness, to "trust no one".

	Claudius the God: and His Wife Messalina by Robert Graves, Search Cheap Books, Discount Books, ISBN 0679725733
		CLAUDIUS THE GOD is the second part of Robert Graves' two-part fictional autobiography of the Roman emperor Claudius.
		Unlike the first book, which concentrated on the long chain of events that ironically brought Claudius to the throne, the second volume is more concerned with Claudius' own personal feelings on how he should reign, and events in the Near East and Britain which affect his rule.
		This may be inspired by the historian Tacitus' comment that in his final years Claudius was merely the puppet of his slaves, freedmen, and wife, but it has a most disconcerting effect on a reader who up to that point has become used to hearing about things in detail.

		The reader warms to the narrator, Claudius, and the novel's plot is very interesting and at times gripping.
		Yet this level of sophistication of the facts is not echoed in the actual writing, as this book is accessible to anyone, whether or not they have an interest in that particular period in history.
