Inhaltsangabe

Roman Gaul, first published in 1983, gives an account of the Roman presence in Gaul, from the time of Caesar's conquests until the Crisis of the third century. Particular attention is paid to the evolution of the landowning class, as well as its relationship with the artisans and traders found in townships and cities. An assessment of the strength of Romano-Gallic society and its economy in the tumultuous third century AD concludes this lively and provocative coverage of an intriguing subject, which will be of interest to all students of the Roman legacy.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

John Drinkwater was an English poet and dramatist, born on June 1, 1882, in Leytonstone, London. He is primarily remembered for his association with the Dymock poets, a group of writers who were influential before World War I, and for his inclusion in the volumes of Georgian Poetry. Drinkwater's early career was defined by his work as a poet, contributing to the literary scene with his sensitive exploration of life and nature. After World War I, however, his focus shifted, and he gained recognition as a playwright. He became particularly well-known for his work with the Birmingham Repertory Theatre, where his plays, including Abraham Lincoln, found success. Drinkwater's plays were noted for their historical and biographical subjects, which were crafted with a deep sense of drama and character study. In addition to his literary career, Drinkwater was a significant figure in early 20th-century English theatre. He was in a long-term partnership with Daisy Kennedy, and they had a daughter, Penelope Ann Drinkwater. Drinkwater passed away on March 25, 1937, at the age of 54, leaving behind a lasting legacy in both poetry and drama. His work continues to be appreciated for its contribution to English literature and theatre.
