«Néron: monstre sanguinaire ou empereur visionnaire?» is the historical essay by Joël Schmidt, published by Larousse in paperback (175 pages, in French).
Joël Schmidt examines the figure of Nero, whom tradition has portrayed as a bloodthirsty emperor, author of crimes such as those against his mother Agrippina, Britannicus or Seneca. Schmidt stresses that the Roman chroniclers belonged to the senatorial class that the emperor sought to reform, and suggests that his reign may have been a period of cultural and political renewal, led by a visionary and complex ruler.
Published in 2010, it belongs to the Hors Série Essais et Documents collection from Larousse.
For readers interested in the history of Rome and in debates surrounding the figure of its emperors.
Joël Schmidt was a French writer and literary critic.
