“Et tu, Brute – Then fall, Caesar!” (Act 3, Scene 1.) Julius
Caesar spoke these words at the moment of his assassination! This five-act play
from the Middle Ages explores themes of power, ambition, and tyranny. With the
original text right alongside a modern translation, you’ll understand exactly
what Shakespeare intended! 251 pgs, paperback. ~Nancie
Publisher's Description of Julius Caesar (Folger Shakespeare Library)
The authoritative edition of Julius Caesar from The Folger Shakespeare Library, the trusted and widely used Shakespeare series for students and general readers.
Shakespeare may have written Julius Caesar as the first of his plays to be performed at the Globe, in 1599. For it, he turned to a key event in Roman history: Caesar’s death at the hands of friends and fellow politicians. Renaissance writers disagreed over the assassination, seeing Brutus, a leading conspirator, as either hero or villain. Shakespeare’s play keeps this debate alive.
This edition includes:
Freshly edited text based on the best early printed version of the play
Newly revised explanatory notes conveniently placed on pages facing the text of the play
Scene-by-scene plot summaries
A key to the play’s famous lines and phrases
An introduction to reading Shakespeare’s language
An essay by a leading Shakespeare scholar providing a modern perspective on the play
Fresh images from the Folger Shakespeare Library’s vast holdings of rare books
An absolute gem for 21st century Shakespeare readers! 400
years have brought many changes to life and language…some words are no longer
used while others have completely different meanings. These books allow you to
enjoy Shakespeare plays without the headache of deciphering so much! Clear,
easy-to-understand notes, definitions, and summaries help readers to understand
antiquated words and phrases, as well as cultural context and nuances of the
characters and story. I love the side-by-side layout. Each page of the play
script is adjacent to a page featuring explanations, scene-by-scene plot
summaries, and illustrations of the scenes from rare books. So what are you
waiting for?! Get ready to dig into Hamlet, Julius Caesar, MacBeth, or Romeo
& Juliet! ~Nancie
