Yourcenar is interested in sensibility and so here you get the Roman world as experienced through the eyes of Hadrian. Historical fiction at its most personal. When we think of Rome we usually think in epic form but this is a very lyrical book and Hadrian really seems to posses qualities which are reminiscent of that slightly older culture Greece. I've never read anything else about Hadrian so I don't know how true to life this account is but however real or imagined this Hadrian is Yourcenar pulls this off unbelievably well. Lives of the Ceasars this isn't but it is something rare. In examining this life so completely she allows us along with her to inhabit this other existence and ultimately we realize better what it is like to truly inhabit our own.
