The popular, broad‐ranging writer was born in Madison, Wisconsin, and educated at Yale and Princeton. He had won fame for his excellent novels (especially the popular The Bridge of San Luis Rey ) before writing some notable one‐act plays such as The Long Christmas Dinner and The Happy Journey to Trenton and Camden . Although an earlier full‐length play, The Trumpet Shall Sound (1926), dealing with a Christ‐like figure in New York, was a failure, as were several later long plays, three of his full‐length works are among the most interesting in the modern American theatre: the small‐town drama Our Town (1938), the expressionistic The Skin of Our Teeth (1942), and the merry farce The Matchmaker (1954), a rewriting of his earlier The Merchant of Yonkers (1938).

The Ides of March is "a fantasia on certain events and persons of the last days of the Roman republic." Taking only a few liberties with the historical events, Author Wilder has imagined the documents he needs and made a police-court dossier that has plausibility (the kind of plausibility that Robert Graves achieved in I, Claudius) without pretense to truth. Wilder calls his novel a "suppositional reconstruction." The result is an amusing book, or, more exactly, a very clever book based on an amusing idea.
