Sehr gutes Exemplar. - Englisch. - Julius Caesar: A Guide to the Play is a reference book intended for both long-time Shakespeareans and those who are coming to Julius Caesar, and perhaps to Shakespeare as well, for the first time. Julius Caesar has so often served as an introduction to Shakespeare that the probability of a substantial group of readers belonging to the second category would seem comparatively high. Consequently, I have tried to make few assumptions about readers'prior knowledge, and I have included signposts to scholarly and critical works readers may wish to consult in order to fill in bits of background. I have resisted the urge to get into lengthy comparisons of Julius Caesar with any of Shakespeare's other plays. This kind of excursion can be delightful if one knows both the works under discussion, but deadening if one does not. For the same reason, I have not emphasized analytical approaches that cannot easily be understood unless the reader has a general grasp of all Shakespeare's playsall the tragedies, all the Roman dramas, or any other category of previous detailed experience; and I have not cited at length critical works that discuss Julius Caesar but seem to mention two or three other plays in every sentence. (I have listed some of these works in the annotated bibliography, however.) The focus here is on Julius Caesar. . (Vorwort) // INHALT : Preface ----- Abbreviations of Cited Works ----- 1.
