HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics. Power,
corruption and betrayal are at the heart of Shakespeare's 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. Caesar's
assassination leads to civil war rather than peace and the play explores
the subsequent deaths of the conspirators Brutus and Cassius. Shakespeare's
contemporaries would have spotted the playwright's 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 Shakespeare's plays,
Julius Caesar remains one of his most well-loved historical tragedies.
