Título: The Tragedy of Julius Caesar
Autor: WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Sinopse: 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:

-Newly revised explanatory notes conveniently placed on pages facing the text of the play
-Scene-by-scene plot summaries
