For Cassius and Brutus, two of Caesar's closest confidantes, the question is difficult to resolve because the answer might mean murdering their friend. This compelling volume probes the moral and political dilemmas posed in William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar through the lens of tyranny. A series of essays discuss the complex politics of Rome, how the play presents the anarchy-tyranny dilemma as inevitable, and draws modern comparisons to leaders in Iran, Cuba, and the United States. Contributors include Stephen Greenblatt and Peter Ackroyd.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vernon Elso Johnson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0737752637\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780737752632\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Greenhaven Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/11\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.10w x 0.50d","brand":"Vernon Elso Johnson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44227533144319,"sku":"9780737752632","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_72faacd1-2141-468c-8e31-f7432754880b.jpg?v=1692809209","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tyranny-in-william-shakespeares-julius-vernon-elso-johnson-9780737752632","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
