Abstract

Brecht’s approaches to Roman history and modern historiography, and his affinity with Walter Benjamin’s ‘Theses on the Philosophy of History’, are linked to his novel about Julius Caesar. Cinematic and stage adaptations of the novel are also briefly discussed, as well as the continuing timeliness of Brecht's politically engaged art.
