Description
Excerpt from The Tragedy of Julius Caesar
IN preparing this edition of julz''us Cesar I have derived great assistance from the Elizabethan lore of Mr. W. J. Craig, the editor of Lear, in the same series. I have consulted almost all the recent editions of jzdz''as Cesar, especially the very exhaustive and able edition prepared for Indian Colleges by Mr. Mark Hunter, Principal of the Government College, Mangalore. Mr. Moulton''s book on Shakespeare''s dramatic art has also been of great use to me. My obligation to Dr. Abbott is sufficiently indicated by the frequent references to his Shakespearian Grammar in the notes. The extracts from Plutarch are taken from Skeat''s S/zaéespeare''s Platarcfz. The references to Shakespeare''s plays other than julz''as Cesar are in accordance with the numbering of the lines in the Globe edition. I have not had the temerity to suggest many new readings. For some time I ?attered myself that I had improved V. I. 35 by the con version of a full step into a note of interrogation, but it afterwards turned out that the emendation had been anticipated by Delius. I cannot find that any previous commentator has thought of making the return to the reading of all the Folios advocated in my note on III. I.
