| Summary | "Shakespeare's Roman Plays and Their Background" by M. W. MacCallum is a scholarly examination of the Roman-themed plays written by Shakespeare, likely composed in the early 20th century. This work delves into the context, influences, and historical significance of these plays within both Shakespeare's oeuvre and the broader landscape of English drama. It specifically addresses how these plays, while distinct from his English histories and tragedies, still reflect similar thematic elements. The opening of the text introduces an exploration of the Roman plays as a distinct category within Shakespeare's body of work, emphasizing their unique methodology and treatment. It outlines the author's intention to discuss not only Shakespeare’s plays but also the historical context surrounding them, including the influences of previous Roman-themed works and key historical figures such as Plutarch. MacCallum acknowledges the challenge of his location far from European libraries, expressing gratitude to various scholars and institutions that have contributed to his research. He articulates his desire to provide a comprehensive analysis of the Roman plays by tracing their sources and literary heritage, ultimately setting the stage for further detailed discussions throughout the text.
