Shakespeare’s 'Julius Caesar': A Critical Introduction
ISBN-13: 9781326402372 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 152 str.
What is the play really about? Tragedy, history, problem play what is its genre? Who, if anyone, is the playOs hero? Is the murder of Caesar justified? Is Brutus a hypocritical Stoic? How does posthumous characterisation work? What makes the play so topical? ""Julius Caesar"" has long been regarded as one of ShakespeareOs greatest dramas. Some of its phrases live on famously: OBeware the Ides of MarchO; OEt tu, Brute?O; and OFriends, Romans, countrymen: lend me your ears O. When Cassius says, OHow many ages hence / Shall this our lofty scene be acted over, / In states unborn and accents yet unknown?O, his question is indeed prophetic: historyOs answer has transformed the question into a boast. This concise, clear introduction explains just why. Professor Cedric Watts, M.A, Ph.D., is the editor of the Wordsworth ClassicsO Shakespeare Series.
