John Fletcher' s Rome is the first book to explore John Fletcher' s engagement with classical antiquity. Like Shakespeare and Jonson, Fletcher wrote, alone or in collaboration, a number of Roman plays: Bonduca, Valentinian, The False One and The Prophetess. Unlike Shakespeare' s or Jonson' s, however, Fletcher' s Roman plays have seldom been the subject of critical discussion. Domenico Lovascio' s ground-breaking study examines these plays as a group for the first time, thus identifying disorientation as the unifying principle of Fletcher' s portrayal of imperial Rome. John Fletcher' s Rome argues that Fletcher' s dramatization of ancient Rome exudes a sense of detachment and scepticism as to the authority of Roman models resulting from his irreverent approach to the classics. The book sheds new light on Fletcher' s intellectual life, his vision of history, and the interconnections between these plays and the rest of his canon.
