You all did love him once, --not without cause:

What cause withholds you, then, to mourn for him?--

O judgment, thou art fled to brutish beasts,

And men have lost their reason --Bear with me;

My heart is in the coffin there with C sar,

And I must pause till it come back to me.

Set at the birth of the Roman Empire, William Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Julius Caesar is a gripping historical play full of drama and betrayal, exploring how principles and a murder with good intentions can slide into malice and civil war. Applauded as one of his best plays but also as one of his most morally ambiguous, the complexity of the protagonists have wowed many an audience, as they show how ambition can lead to death.

Following The Tragedy of Julius Caesar's inclusion upon the new specification for GCSE English (first examinations 2017), CBy Publishing hereby publishes the full, unabridged 1599 text, complete with illustrations, large, annotation friendly margins and a plethora of background material to aid student analysis.
