Julius Caesar: A Norton Critical Edition
- Used Book in Good Condition
Shakespeareâ€™s tragedy of one of the most famous assassinations in the world at an epoch-changing time in history.
This richly documented Norton Critical Edition of Julius Caesar is based on the 1623 First Folio text. It is accompanied by a note on the text, an introduction that sets the biographical and historical stage necessary to appreciate this richly allusive play, explanatory annotations, a map, and five illustrations.

â€œSources and Contextsâ€ presents possible sources as well as analogues to Julius Caesar, an account of Shakespeareâ€™s understanding of and approach to Roman history, and Ernest Schanzerâ€™s study of the narrative challenges posed by the play.

â€œCriticismâ€ includes early commentaryâ€•by, among others, Samuel Johnson, William Hazlitt, and Harley Granville-Barkerâ€•on Julius Caesar as well as modern interpretations. Among these are John W. Velz on role-playing in Julius Caesar; Jan H. Blits on Caesarâ€™s ambiguous end; Paul A. Cantor on rhetoric, poetry and the Roman republic; and R. A. Foakes on the themes of assassination and mob violence.

â€œPerformance Historyâ€ reprints accounts of various aspects of staging Julius Caesar by Sidney Homan, John Nettles, and
Robert F. Willson, Jr.

A Film Bibliography and Selected Bibliography are also included.
