Julius Caesar is a key link between Shakespeare's histories and his tragedies. Unlike the Caesar drawn by Plutarch in a source text, Shakespeare's Caesar is surprisingly modern: vulnerable and imperfect, a powerful man who does not always know himself. The open-ended structure of the play insists that revealing events will continue after the play ends, making the significance of the history we have just witnessed impossible to determine in the play itself. John D. Cox's introduction discusses issues of genre, characterization, and rhetoric, while also providing a detailed history of criticism of the play. Appendices provide excerpts from important related works by Lucretius, Plutarch, and Montaigne.

Die berühmten 154 Sonette des weltbekannten Dichters William Shakespeare: Inhaltlich mit dem übergeordneten Thema Liebe an die Sonette des Italieners Petrarca angelehnt, jedoch als englische Sonette in der Form abweichend, gehört dieser Gedichtzyklus zu den Klassikern der Weltliteratur. Neben Liebe geht es u.a. um das Älterwerden und Eifersucht. Die Sonette 1-126 richten sich an einen jungen Mann („fair boy"), der ab dem nächsten Sonett von einer dunklen Gegenspielerin, der „dark lady", abgelöst wird.William Shakespeare (1564-1616) war ein englischer Dichter, Dramatiker und Schauspieler und gilt als einer der weltweit bekanntesten Lyriker. Er lebte vermutlich ab 1590 ohne seine Frau und seine drei Kinder in London, wo er eine wichtige Rolle in der Theaterwelt sowohl als Schauspieler als auch als Dramatiker spielte und Mitbesitzer des Globe Theatre war. Zu seinen bekanntesten Werken gehören u.a. „Hamlet", „Macbeth", „Romeo und Julia" und seine Sonette.

Macbeth is Book One in the eight-book series called Shakespeare At Home.Carmen Khan and Jack Armstrong, in their thirty years at The Philadelphia Shakespeare Theatre, have created dozens of Shakespeare productions. Time and again they have seen that, although there are already several major editions of these luminous classics in print, each with its own valuable contribution to make, there is none that provides everything the reader needs to understand the play.So, they have created their own edition, from a director''s viewpoint, which distills their detailed notes on every line of the play - what is being said, why it''s being said, what the drama of the scene is, and why Shakespeare included it. In other words, everything you need, whether to perform the play in front of an audience of thousands, or just to read it to yourself.The Shakespeare At Home series is an ideal addition to the libraries of homeschooling parents as well any school library.
