Julius Caesar

Tyranny, imperialism and political authority define Shakespeare’s enduring dramatic depiction of ruling power and regime change in ancient Rome. A touchpoint for characterising tyrannical leaders throughout the world, Julius Caesar has told a cautionary tale of the uneasy relationship between political leaders and citizens from the time it was first performed up to the 21st century. The Arden Shakespeare Fourth Series Julius Caesar provides: - A critical introduction to the play's textual, cultural and performance history - An edition that is rooted in the first known performance of the play in London, 1599 - Detailed on-the-page notes explaining language, character and performance - A clear page layout with an easy-to-read font and single-column notes - Images of relevant productions, paintings and texts The Arden Shakespeare Fourth Series includes a new edition of every Shakespeare play, the poems and sonnets. Each volume is edited afresh by a leading scholar specialising in cutting-edge research on performance, gender, sexuality and race. These editions cover everything you need to know as a student, teacher, researcher, theatre-maker and performer of Shakespeare’s works today.
