The New Shakespeare: Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare
Set at the birth of the Roman Empire, William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar is a taut historical drama exploring the violent consequences of betrayal and murder.
When it seems that Julius Caesar may assume supreme power, a plot to destroy him is hatched by the senators Brutus and Cassius, who are determined to preserve the threatened Republic. But the different motives of the conspirators soon become apparent when high principles clash with malice and political realism.
Seizing his opportunity, the ambitious young Mark Antony turns public opinion against the conspirators, plunging the nation into a bloody civil war.
The New Shakespeare provides a text (a play to a volume) of all Shakespeare's plays and poems which takes full account of the scholarship - bibliographical, historical and linguistic - of the twentieth century, together with all the material necessary to bring the student or the general reader to the fullest understanding and enjoyment of what Shakespeare wrote.
