STORY: Petronius [died 66 A.D.] who, at the court of Nero, acted as arbiter of elegance and dictator of fashion. The flashing wit, the masterly touches which bring out the characters with all the detail of a fine old copper etching; the marvelous use of realism by this, its first prophet; the sure knowledge of the perspective and background best adapted to each episode; the racy style, so smooth, so elegant, so simple, beguile the reader and blind [us], at first, to the many discrepancies and incoherences with which the text, as we have it [in fragmentary form], is marred.
