Julius Caesar
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
'Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely'. Three centuries before this memorable phrase was coined by Lord Acton, Shakespeare had demonstrated its dramatic truth in Julius Caesar. To the events surrounding the assassination of Julius
Caesar in 44bg, Shakespeare introduces the dangerous themes of thwarted ambition, political reaction and crude demagoguery in a brilliant indictment of realpolitik. Although the play is a sharp comment on corrupted political motives, it contains some of Shakespeare's finest speeches, and remains as relevant today as in the seventeenth century.
The text of this edition is taken from the Cambridge University Press New Shakespeare, edited by Sir > Arthur Quiller-Couch and John Dover Wilson.
Antony and Cleopatra
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
In Antony & Cleopatra the majesty of the characterization and the poetry of the language reveal Shakespeare in full maturity and sureness of touch. The unseemliness of the erotic obsession of two powerful lovers past their first youth is shown to lead
inexorably to personal and political tragedy. Cover Design by Robert Mathias, Publishing Workshop Cover Illustration
