Publisher's Synopsis
"The reading of all good books is like conversation with the finest (people) of the past centuries." - Descartes
Read Shakespeare's plays in all their brilliance--and understand what every word means! 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. A 19th century classics literature edition.
