I'm not sure that this novel is better than Fast's novel of the same name, more likely the other way round. I propose that Spartacus (novel) should be a disambiguation page, I will move in a few days if nobody objects. PatGallacher 13:14, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
"Its opening sentence is arguably the most dramatic in the whole of English literature." - And then there is nothing! I think we should be able to have at least part of this sentence with-out violating copyright of this 1930s book. Some-body who has the book, please help. I'm really curious.

What is "English literature"? Gibbon was a Scottish nationalist. English language literature and literature from England seem permanently conflated! Maybe that's the intention. - MacRusgail ( talk) 16:04, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
I don't know if it's worth including or not, but there is an anachronism in the novel: On page 97 (according to the introduction, viewable in Google Books), the text says that Crixus stood up in his stirrups. Yet this was a long time before a stirrup was to be seen in the West. Kdammers ( talk) 10:56, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
