Julius Caesar (Annotated by Henry N. Hudson with an Introduction by Charles Harold Herford)

Believed to be written in 1599, William Shakespeareâ€™s â€œJulius Caesarâ€ is one of several plays that the bard would write that were based upon Roman history. Closely based on actual events as chronicled in Plutarchâ€™s â€œLivesâ€, it is the story of the tragic downfall of Julius Caesar and of those who conspired against him. The play begins with the celebration of Caesarâ€™s return from defeating Pompeyâ€™s sons at the battle of Munda. When it is learned that Julius Caesar has been offered the crown of Rome by Mark Antony three times, and that each time he has refused it, it is believed that it is only a matter of time before he is to become King and thus dictator of Rome. Roman Senator Cassius is concerned about what such a coronation might mean for the people of Rome and begins to persuade fellow politician Brutus, who is also Caesarâ€™s close friend, that they must prevent Caesar from gaining such power by assassinating him. A gripping historical drama â€œJulius Caesarâ€ contains some of Shakespeareâ€™s most memorable lines and is ranked as one of the playwrightâ€™s finest works. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper, is annotated by Henry N. Hudson, and includes an introduction by Charles Harold Herford.
