This portrayal of one of antiquity's most enigmatic figures offers a vivid and compact assessment of the Apostate's life and reign. Proceeding directly from an evaluation of the ancient sources - the testimony of friends and enemies of Julian as well as the writings of the emperor himself - the author traces Julian's youth, his years as the commander of the Roman forces in Gaul, and his emergence as sole ruler in the course of a dramatic march to Constantinople. In Bowersock's analysis of Julian's religious revolution, the emperor's ardent espousal of a lost cause is seen to have made intolerable demands upon pagans, Jews, and Christians alike.

英文中近幾十年來,Julian的傳記不多。這本正文不到120頁,對於隻活瞭32年的羅馬皇帝,而且不想渲染,也就差不多瞭。作者對史料常有辨析,隻是我不熟悉此前的研究,所以沒法說作者的突破和貢獻。文字比較講究,和作者推崇吉本恐怕有些關係。居然看到極少被使用的ululation一詞(96頁)!對Julian沒有太多理想化,也沒有過多猜測。結尾期待有一點點高潮,有一丁點的感慨和抒懷,卻沒有,足見作者的節製。
