Set in Ancient Rome, it remains a gripping psychological study of the relationship between personality and politics.The introduction to this new edition considers Shakespeare''s adaptation of his historical material (Plutarch''s Lives) in relation to the social and political conditions in London and Stratford at the time of the play''s composition, also offering new evidence that it was written in 1608.

A thorough commentary pays special attention to the needs of actors and directors. Less
