by William Shakespeare and David Daniell Julius Caesar is on the English Literature GCSE syllabus for the AQA exam board. This edition of one of Shakespeare's best known and most f requently performed plays argues for Julius Caesar as a new kind of political play, a radical departure from contemporary practice, combining fast action and immediacy with compelling rhetorical language, and finding a clear context for its study of tyranny in the last decade of the reign of Elizabeth 1. The richly experimental verse and the complex structure of the play are analysed in depth, and a strong case is made for this to be the first play to be performed at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre.
