Cape Cod Regional Technical High School. 4 Jan. 2011 <http://go.galegroup.com/ps/start.do?p=LitRG&u=mlin_s_ccreg>. Title: Julius Caesar Source: Shakespearean Criticism. Ed. Michael L. LaBlanc. Vol. 74. Detroit: Gale, 2003. From Literature Resource Center. Document Type: Work overview, Critical essay Introduction Further Readings about the Topic Introduction Julius Caesar contains elements of both Shakespeare's histories and tragedies, and has been classified as a "problem play" by some scholars. Set in Rome in 44 b.c., the play describes a senatorial conspiracy to murder the emperor Caesar and the political turmoil that ensues in the aftermath of the assassination. The emperor's demise, however, is not the primary concern for critics of Julius Caesar; rather, most critics are interested in the events surrounding the act--the organization of the conspiracy against Caesar and the personal and political repercussions of the murder. Shakespeare's tragedies often feature the death of the titular character at the play's end. Many commentators have noted that Julius Caesar's unusual preempting of this significant event--Caesar is killed less than halfway through the play--diminishes the play's power early in the third act. Scholars are interested in the play's unconventional structure and its treatment of political conflict, as well as Shakespeare's depiction of Rome and the struggles the central characters face in balancing personal ambition, civic duty, and familial obligation. Modern critics also study the numerous social and religious affinities that Shakespeare's Rome shares with Elizabethan England.

ISSN (Online) 2620-066X ▪ https://doi.org/10.32591/coas.ojsh.0101.02009k _________________________________________________________________________ Influence of Roman History on Shakespeare’s Works Ioanna-Soultana Kotsori University of Peloponnese, Faculty of Humanities and Cultural Studies, Kalamata Kyriakos Manolis1 National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, School of Philosophy Received 29 June 2018 ▪ Revised 10 July 2018 ▪ Accepted 18 July 2018 Abstract Shakespeare is one of the greatest English writer, whose works have been translated into most languages of the world. He wrote most of his works between 1589 and 1613, during the Renaissance. Shakespeare’s influence came from the classical and the Roman world, especially from the theatrical tradition. It was also influenced by the Latin writers and borrowed a lot of them. Shakespeare’s works relate to Roman history and are associated with the Latin poets, but also with the Greek historians and Socratic philosophers. The Roman elements govern the work of Shakespeare. Indeed, blood and violence are typical of Roman works, as is the struggle of clans and citizens of ancient Rome. In Shakespeare’ s era, the palace intrigue was not lacking, while the theater was popular as a political manipulation of the masses. Keywords: Roman history, Roman figures, Renaissance, tragedies, Roman drama, Latin authors. 1. Introduction Shakespeare was an English poet but also a playwright. Indeed, he is considered to be the greatest writer in the English language and one of the most important dramaturgists in the world (Wells, 1997: 399).

  • Silent Night by Kevin Puts | February 21, 25, 27, March 1, 2015
    SILENT NIGHT BY KEVIN PUTS | FEBRUARY 21, 25, 27, MARCH 1, 2015 LYRIC OPERA’S ‘SILENT NIGHT’ A BEAUTIFUL, HORRIFIC MASTERPIECE February 22, 2015 By Libby Hanssen From living nightmare to waking dream, the opera “Silent Night” is a powerful account of World War I’s 1914 Christmas Eve Truce. Created by composer Kevin Puts and librettist Mark Campbell, it is a fictionalized distillation of events, inspired by the film “Joyeux Noel.” But it is its own masterpiece, both beautiful and horrific, tracing the characters’ tortured psyches within the three gathered armies (Scottish, German and French), their un-sanctioned ceasefire an overwhelming display of humanity. The opera was co-commission by the Minnesota Opera, premiered in 2011, and won the Pulitzer Prize in 2012. The Lyric Opera’s production, one of its finest performances in recent memory, premiered Saturday in Kauffman Theatre, directed by Octavio Cardenas. This was Puts’ first opera, and he teamed with veteran wordsmith Campbell to create a well-crafted work with a seamless quality of inevitability. The libretto was written in five languages: English, German, French, Latin and Italian. This blend of text shifted easily as emotions peaked and released with judiciously placed levity. As the truce approached, though, tension crescendoed in a nasty descending smear in the orchestra that left one breathless.
