Julius Caesar: A Tragedy

See all formats and editions

Out of fear that Caesar might overthrow the Roman Senate and rule by tyranny, Brutus, convinced by Cassius, kills Caesar in the Senate.

Acting for the republic, the conspirators do not flee, but defend their actions and Rome remains on their sideuntil Mark Antony speaks and rouses the crowd against the conspirators.

A revered favourite of scholars and dramatists alike, Julius Caesar remains one of Shakespeares most popular plays.Known as The Bard of Avon, William Shakespeare is arguably the greatest English-language writer known.

Enormously popular during his life, Shakespeares works continue to resonate more than three centuries after his death, as has his influence on theatre and literature.

Shakespeares innovative use of character, language, and experimentation with romance as tragedy served as a foundation for later playwrights and dramatists, and some of his most famous lines of dialogue have become part of everyday speech.HarperPerennialClassics brings great works of literature to life in digital format, upholding the highest standards in ebook production and celebrating reading in all its forms.
