«Julius Caesar» is the historical tragedy by William Shakespeare, published by Wordsworth Editions in paperback (144 pages, in English).
The play recreates the conspiracy that ended with the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BC and its consequences in Rome. Amid speeches and political maneuvers, Shakespeare shows how personal ambition corrupts public actions and how calls for freedom can conceal private interests, in a tragedy of strong dramatic tension.
Annotated edition from the Wordsworth Classics collection, with introduction and notes by Cedric Watts.
Recommended for literature students and readers interested in classical theater and the work of Shakespeare.
William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet and actor. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" or simply "the Bard". His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, 3 long narrative poems and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted.
