Ben Jonson's Sejanus' Fall: A Retelling

By David Bruce

This is a retelling of Ben Jonson's tragedy SEJANUS HIS FALL in the English of today. Reading this retelling first will help readers better understand the original play. Sejanus was the second most powerful man in the Roman Empire, and Emperor Tiberius was the most powerful person. Sejanus' ambition to become Emperor made Tiberius become suspicious of him.

Do you know a language other than English? If you do, I give you permission to translate this book, copyright your translation, publish or self-publish it, and keep all the royalties for yourself. (Do give me credit, of course, for the original retelling.)

I would like to see my retellings of classic literature used in schools, so I give permission to the country of Finland (and all other countries) to buy one copy of this eBook and give copies to all students forever. I also give permission to the state of Texas (and all other states) to buy one copy of this eBook and give copies to all students forever. I also give permission to all teachers to buy one copy of this eBook and give copies to all students forever.

Teachers need not actually teach my retellings. Teachers are welcome to give students copies of my eBooks as background material. For example, if they are teaching Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, teachers are welcome to give students copies of my Virgil's Aeneid: A Retelling in Prose and tell students, "Here's another ancient epic you may want to read in your spare time."
