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,
characterisation, 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.
