Julius Caesar - Paperback

by Harold Bloom (Author)

The exciting new series that began in Fall 2004 with "Macbeth," "A Midsummer Night's Dream," and "Henry IV" continues...
"Shakespeare's Julius Caesar is an immensely sympathetic character, benign yet dangerous. He is, of course, self-centered, and always conscious of being Caesar, perhaps even sensing his deification in advance." - Harold Bloom
Each edition in the Harold Bloom Shakespeare series will include the full text of the play, with editorial revisions and commentary by Harold Bloom.
