	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 03.06.10
		In part this results from Jones' evident belief that a crucial component of an imperial biography must be a thorough examination of the careers of those people most intimately connected with the emperor.
		Yet while Jones liberally cites these chapters for matters of 'fact' (e.g., details about the date of Domitian's triumph, the arx Albana, the Domus Flavia, Domitian's use of delatores), they are nowhere adduced in his discussion of either Domitian's treatment of the senate and individual senators or his character.
		The Emperor Domitian cannot and should not be judged as the final word on the emperor, but rather as a major step toward reassessing an emperor whose reign should perhaps be regarded not as a gloomy coda to the troublous first century, but rather as a precursor to the saner second.

		"Emperor Jones" is a significant entry in American theater history for a number of reasons.
		Once the natives grow restless, the Emperor Jones takes flight through a haunted forest, only to be confronted by the ghosts of his own past (his murder victim, prison guard) and of African American history (slavery).
		Ultimately, "Jones" is a haunting meditation on power, belief in the supernatural, and the seemingly inescapable pull of history.

		Jones, realizing that his reign is over, starts to make his escape to the coast where a French gunboat is anchored.
		And it is to this spot that the defenseless and exhausted emperor crawls, having made a complete circle in the jungle as his panic whipped him on.
		Also, if The Emperor Jones were taken elsewhere we have little doubt that the manager would engage a white man with a piece of burnt cork to play Brutus Jones.

	The Emperor Jones Review -- Book-Reviews.info
		Although O'Neill himself did not embrace the label, "The Emperor Jones" seems a quintessential expressionist piece as the little formless fears, Jeff the gambler, the convicts and the auctioneer all seem to be projected from Jones' deteriorating inner emotions.
		The opening scene between Jones and Smithers, the Cockney trader, is powerful with the brutal dialogue & interplay between characters.
		The next 6 scenes all reflect Jones' inner state with the tremendous mechanism of the increasingly intense tom-tom drums driving him to the breaking point and his increasingly tattered clothing reflecting how he is being worn down.

		On the stage, THE EMPEROR JONES had tremendous irony, for in so crushing his subjects Brutus Jones has essentially recreated the white American society that crushed him.
		Moreover, the staging was uniquely powerful, with the vast majority of the story played out as Jones runs through the jungle in an effort to escape his revolting subjects, all the while recalling the various events of his life that led him to the present moment.
		Having regard to the fact that "Emperor Jones" is Robeson's first major film role, the quality of both picture and sound is outstanding and far above copies of later films, which I purchased at the same time.

	New York State Writers Institute - Emperor Jones Film Notes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		By the time the film version of The Emperor Jones was released in September of 1933, Robeson had embarked upon stardom of a magnitude that even the megalomaniacal Brutus Jones would have a hard time imagining it.
		In was inconceivable that a major studio would even attempt to produce the film, and so The Emperor Jones went before the cameras at tiny Eastern Service Studios in New York, on May 25, 1933, as an independent film, budgeted at $250,000.
		He was right to question the film's final commitment to Black dignity, but The Emperor Jones remains a remarkable refraction of the many lives the race led in the years of the Great Migration northward, and the terrible forced exile of African Americans from the soul of America.
