The New Oxford Shakespeare edition of Julius Caesar provides a friendly yet authoritative introduction to Shakespeare's famous Roman tragedy.'Cry ""havoc!"" and let slip the dogs of war'Set against the backdrop of a nation breaking out into civil war, Julius Caesar raises questions of governance, power, tyranny, and enslavement. This New Oxford Shakespeare edition situates these questions within the historical framework of the play's early history in theatre and print, as well as within its long performance history up to and including in the 21st century.
