About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of Characters and Events of Roman History by Guglielmo Ferrero. (Translated by Frances Lance Ferrero.) Read in English by Mark Harrington. Guglielmo Ferrero was an Italian historian and journalist, and this book contains his Lowell Lectures, presented in 1908 at the Lowell Institute in Boston. In his first lecture, Ferrero discusses the "corruption" of customs and morals in Rome and compares this to America and Europe of his day; he then discusses key figures and events from Caesar to Nero, and finally considers the role Rome can play in education. Ferrero uses psychological, sociological, and economic lenses in evaluating the world of Rome. (Summary by Mark Harrington)
