About The Life of Herod the Great

Zora Neale Hurston’s unpublished novel revealing the historical Herod the Great–not the demon the Bible makes him out to be but a religious and philosophical man who lived a life of adventure.?In the 1950s, after the publication of Moses, Man of the Mountain, Zora Neale Hurston set out to write a novel that would set the record straight about one of history’s most maligned figures. If Hurston’s Moses challenges the Old Testament version of the ancient Hebrew leader by suggesting that Moses was actually an Egyptian, Hurston’s Herod challenges the New Testament version of the tyrant who supposedly ordered the deaths of many children in order to save the Christ-child, as recorded in the book of Matthew, by suggesting that he was actually a forerunner of Christ.From the peaks of triumph to the depths of human misery, the historical Herod and “seemed to have been singled out by some deity and especially endowed to attract the zigzag lightning of fate. and ” The intimate friend of both Marc Antony and Julius Caesar, Herod lived in times of war and expansion, where political assassinations and bribery were commonplace as the old world gave way to the new. Breaking his legacy out of a single paragraph in the Bible and into the vivid, breathing world he lived in, Hurston’s unfinished manuscript brings a full person with an adventurous life into view for the first time.Scholar and literary critic Deborah Plant brings this bold, spirited novel to readers for the first time with a new introduction and editorial additions that demonstrate Hurston’s point about how reimagining figures from the past addresses the troubles we experience today.
