Julius Caesar (Collins Classics)
HarperCollins is proud to present our range of timeless literary classics.
Power, corruption and betrayal are at the heart of Shakespeareâs most well-known historical and political drama. As Julius Caesar moves closer to securing power for himself and is perceived by some as a threat to Roman citizens, his senators plot to bring about his downfall. Caesarâs assassination leads to civil war rather than peace and the play explores the subsequent deaths of the conspirators Brutus and Cassius.
Shakespeareâs contemporaries would have spotted the playwrightâs attempts to use the shift from republican to imperial Rome to highlight the political situation of the Elizabethans at the time. Featuring some of the most powerfully resonant and rousing speeches of any of Shakespeareâs plays, Julius Caesar remains one of his most well-loved historical tragedies.
