Seizing his opportunity, the ambitious young Mark Antony turns public opinion against the conspirators, plunging the nation into a bloody civil war. But the different motives of the conspirators soon become apparent when high principles clash with malice and political realism. 'Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him' When it seems that Julius Caesar may assume supreme power, a plot to destroy him is hatched by the senators Brutus and Cassius, who are determined to preserve the threatened Republic. This Penguin Shakespeare edition is edited by Norman Sanders with an introduction by Martin Wiggins.
Set at the birth of the Roman Empire, William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar is a taut historical drama exploring the violent consequences of betrayal and murder.
