See all formats and editions

This edition of "Julius Caesar" provides a lively edition of one of Shakespeare's most familiar and studied plays.

The introduction sets the play in the context of the last years of Elizabeth I's reign, with rebellion stirring and conflicts over the calendar.

It also explains the conscious use of classical rhetoric in the language of Caesar himself, contrasting with the "modern" language of Cassius, and discusses Shakespeare's subtle use of his main source, Plutarch.
