This book contains William Shakespeare's 1599 play; "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar". Along with 'Coriolanus' and 'Antony and Cleopatra', it was of the few plays that Shakespeare wrote based on actual historic events. Although the title is "Julius Caesar", Caesar is not the most visible character in its action; the play revolves around Marcus Brutus's psychological turmoil resulting from opposing demands of honour, patriotism and friendship. William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616) was an English playwright, actor, and poet - considered to be the greatest writer in the English language, and the world's most celebrated dramatist. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of William Shakespeare.
