Julius Caesar (Cambridge School Shakespeare) 3rd Edition

As a high school English and theatre teacher, this series will always be my favorite text for teaching Shakespeare!

...is quite good for middle and early high school classes. The text is well noted. The teachers' notes give many suggestions for school/class activities. The interpretive section shows why this is a tragedy (Caesar dies in the third act, but Brutus and co-conspirators in the fifth), how the conspirators were trying to "save" "democracy" vs. the monarchical Caesar family (with Marc Antony)...great for discussion and elaboration.This text will go well with a recent (2017?) BBC video production of the play, which is performed entirely by a cast of English Black actors, showing that the concerns raised by Shakespeare are broader than those of the small island of Great Britain.I think Shakespeare lovers will also appreciate this version of the text. The drawback to using it in school is that it is nearly twice as expensive, as, say, the Folger Library edition, so school systems may wonder about its cost. While I think it is quite worth it, perhaps school districts purchasing (for example) 150 copies might want to negotiate down from the retail price for the district. On an individual basis, however, I thought this was worth it because it had so much background and interpretation.(Illustration is a 1937 Italian postage stamp commemorating the 2,000 anniversary of Caesar's death.)

Great product. Took longer than I thought to be delivered.

Great teaching tool.. Maybe the layout is a bit busy but I think they did a great job other than that!

Good book everything was fine no marks or anything good as new.

As advertised. Worth the cost.

Great.
