  The Claudius Novels - I Claudius...

  The Claudius Novels includes Robert Graves’ best known historical novels, I, Claudius and Claudius the God. 
  In I, Claudius, Robert Graves begins the story of the limping, stammering young man who is suddenly thrust onto the throne after the death of Caligula.
  Once a rather bookish young man with a limp and a stammer, a man who spent most of his time trying to stay away from the danger and risk of the line of ascension, Claudius seemed an unlikely candidate for Emperor. Yet, on the death of Caligula, Claudius finds himself next in line for the throne, and must stay alive as well as keep control.
  
  Drawing on the histories of Plutarch, Suetonius, and Gaius Cornelius Tacitus, noted historian and classicist Robert Graves tells the story of the much-maligned Emperor Claudius with both skill and compassion. Weaving important themes throughout about the nature of freedom and safety possible in a safety and a monarchy, Graves’ Claudius is both more effective and more tragic than history typically remembers him. A best-selling novel and one of Graves’ most successful, I, Claudius has been adapted to television, film, theatre, and audio.
  
  In Claudius the God, Graves continues the story, detailing Claudius’ 13-year reign and his ultimate downfall. Painting the vivid, tumultuous, and decadent society of ancient Rome with spectacular detail, Robert Graves provides a tale that is both instructive and compelling, and difficult to put down for both casual readers and students of Roman history.

  James I of Scotland, taken at sea as a boy and held eighteen years in English castles — educated, admired, made a poet and a knight, and never allowed home. Around him: Henry V, Agincourt, and a Scots household in exile. Yonge worked from the chronicles and from James's own poem; the caged lion is not a metaphor she invented, and the ending is history. Fifty-four plates, from Jörg Breu the Elder to Thomas Gainsborough, gather the hunting fields, greyhounds and grey skies that surround a king who could never ride free.
