Reseña del editor

Classic Books Library presents this new beautiful edition of William Shakespeare's history play, "Julius Caesar", featuring a specially commissioned new biography of William Shakespeare. This play explores the events that conspired in the lead up to the fall of the Roman Emperor, Julius Caesar, and in the years that followed his death. “Julius Caesar” also depicts the psychological turmoil of one of his conspirators, Marcus Brutus, whose vision of empire collides with personal and patriotic demands. Brutus’s fragmented struggle forms a central theme of the play. William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616) was an English playwright, poet, and actor. He is considered to be the greatest writer in the English language and is celebrated as the world's most famous dramatist.

Reseña del editor

Originally published in 1896. Contents include; General Preface, Introduction, Dramatis Personae, Julius Caesar, Notes, Appendix A - Outline of Shakespeare's Prosody, Appendix B - Historical Outlines, Glossary, General Index...Introduction; The earliest known edition of Julius Caesar is that of the first folio, 1623, in which the plays were for the first time collected. We have no knowledge of the text on which it was based; but the passages which show distinct signs of corruption are few. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
