Summary "The Life of Cicero, Volume One" by Anthony Trollope is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This biography explores the life and contributions of Marcus Tullius Cicero, the renowned Roman orator, philosopher, and statesman, seeking to articulate the complexities of his character and the tumultuous era in which he lived. Trollope aims to present Cicero not just as a prominent literary figure but also as a man of significant moral and political stature. The opening of this biography begins with Trollope reflecting on his motivation for undertaking the project, demonstrating a profound admiration for Cicero's character, virtues, and intellect. He acknowledges the skepticism surrounding Cicero's patriotism and strength of character, and he takes it upon himself to champion Cicero's legacy against criticisms from contemporary and historical figures. Trollope emphasizes the crucial role Cicero played during a transformative period in Rome's history, filled with conflict and political intrigue. He introduces Cicero's early education and the foundational influences that shaped him, hinting at the intricate interplay between his personal aspirations and the broader socio-political landscape of ancient Rome that defines his life story.
