Julius Caesar (Dover Thrift Editions: Plays)

I’m an English teacher. I considered just buying a bunch of copies if I had to because the price is right (ended up that I didn’t have to).It would have been totally fine for a class. There’s brief notes explaining difficult words and passages on the bottom of each page. Totally standard, really, except that for some reason there’s no line numbers.

Love this and the book is very well made. If you like the classics, this one is for you!

It had been a few decades since I last read this play, and I wanted a refresher.Honestly, I don't know why we push Shakespeare on kids. It's so much more meaningful in your 30's, 40's, 50's etc when you can better understand how sharp Shakespeare really was. At 14 Julius Caesar was meaningless and tiring to me. At 44 it's brilliant and so very relevant to modern times. I think it would be fascinating if everyone was forced to go through high school english lit at age 40 or so.Anyway, for $3, this book did well as something I could read in the bath without concern for it getting wet.

The text of Julius Caesar is of course awesome. This version includes some helpful definitions and notes on difficult words and a short introduction to the play that is helpful for students. Unfortunately, Dover Thrift does not included line numbers. If it did, I would give the product 5 stars.

Ordered this item for my son. It's the complete text and is very lightweight which is important since he goes to a school that doesn't provide lockers and storage. It has proved itself to be durable because he is not gentle on his supplies.

I read this play once or twice a year. My old copy finally gave way and I wanted to replace this. This copy was 3.99 and it is a nice quality cheap paperback. Ill be buying more dover thrift copies of shakespeare's play.I recommend.

great home school book

This book helps me a lot with analysis and explains everything so well. I don't even have to read the book and I know the most important things about and can explain what is going on because of this book. Great purchase.

Excellent..!

One of Shakespeare's greatest plays with great dramatic interest and some memorable language. This edition has a useful glossary to clarify archaic words. Professional narration added much additional pleasure to the play.

Excellent! The first time I have read through the play. Mark Anthony's speech is superb oratory.

good

Good book.
