The plot, brilliant rhetoric and characterization of "Julius Caesar" have made it one of Shakespeare's most popular plays with both readers and theatre-goers. Introducing this reconsidered edition, Arthur Humphreys provides a fresh look at the play's date and its place in the Shakespeare canon and examines Shakespeare's transmutation of history into drama. He investigates the play's ethical and moral concerns in a section on Roman values and analyzes its fortunes in performance, from its immediately successful first staging to modern productions for cinema, television, and stage.
