Spartacus
James Leslie Mitchell
Rated: 3.83 of 5 stars

· 6 ratings · Published: 1933
While there have been sporadic attempts to revive Mitchell's fiction outside A Scots Quair, this is a turning point in making available material which will demonstrate to a generation discovering him the width of his rnage and his ability to write on subjects far from his native Scotland.
A full introduction [by Ian Campbell] offers a description of the man and his work, a brief evaluation of Spartacus as historical fiction and some account of the style. This is the first modern edition, based on the author's own text.
