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).
