Julius Caesar: Third Series (The Arden Shakespeare Third Series)

Product Information

A wonderful introduction covering the many aspects of how and why Shakespeare's Julius Caesar has been staged through time; insight into Shakespeare's motives in writing the play set in context of the Elizabethan court and much more. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.

Access to content on Oxford Academic is often provided through institutional subscriptions and purchases. The introduction as a whole runs to a generous 150 pages, but it seems unbalanced in this respect - I would have preferred an extended section on contemporary criticism, even at the expense of some of the 20 pages devoted to the play's performance history, if necessary. Although first published in 1998, this 3rd edition Arden has by no means been superseded, and can expect a long shelf-life ahead. If you’ve already done that, your item hasn’t arrived, or it’s not as described, you can report that to Etsy by opening a case.Thus, according to Daniell, 'Caesar did, and did not, deserve to die,' while Brutus 'is, and is not, the tragic hero. Two erotic poems, Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece were published in 1593 and 1594 and records of his plays begin to appear in 1594 for Richard III and the three parts of Henry VI.

Edited by leading Shakespeare scholars and supported by extensive notes, the Arden Shakespeare is recommended for students studying at A-level and above. He was born in Stratford-Upon-Avon, son of John Shakespeare, a prosperous merchant and local politician and Mary Arden, who had the wealth to send their oldest son to Stratford Grammar School. For librarians and administrators, your personal account also provides access to institutional account management. Before retiring to Stratford in 1613, after the Globe burned down, he wrote more than three dozen plays (that we are sure of) and more than 150 sonnets.

This edition of Julius Caesar provides a lively edition of one of Shakespeare s most familiar and studied plays. Daniell's argument in favour of selecting the 1632 reading (in which the comma redirects meaning) makes perfect sense, even if initially baffling. His surviving works, including some collaborations, consist of 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several other poems.
