Virgil61 Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Burgess is one of my favorite writers, has anyone read this one set in the empire of the 1st century A.D.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metella Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 I have not - what type of style - flavor are the books? While I don't mind the Davis series, it is pertty modern in implications of how the characters think and such. I still enjoy them ... They just don't feel that authentic to me.

Burgess was a mainstream author who only wrote a couple of historical novels. He wrote Clockwork Orange among other things. For my tastes he was one of the greatest writers of the 20th century, he's usually associated with the other English-Catholic writers of his era--Graham Greene, Evelyn Waugh & Muriel Spark.
