Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Shakespeare's portrayal of Caesar presents a modern, complex character who grapples with vulnerability and self-awareness, diverging from Plutarch's depiction. The play's open-ended structure suggests that the consequences of events extend beyond its conclusion, complicating the interpretation of its historical significance. John D. Cox's introduction explores genre, characterization, and rhetoric, complemented by a comprehensive history of critical perspectives. Additionally, the appendices include key excerpts from influential works by Lucretius, Plutarch, and Montaigne, enriching the understanding of the play's context.
