Description: "Uncovers the early modern English preoccupation with retellings of the Roman siege of 70 C.E. by writers who sought to comprehend their own troubled times. Placing tales of colonialism, plague, and exile within a larger narrative of divine intervention, this book reveals the growing perception of such history as cultural capital in the seventeenth century"--Provided by publisher.
