Set in Ancient Rome, this play remains a gripping psychological study of the relationship between personality and politics. The introduction to the text of the play considers Shakespeare's adaptation of his historical material ("Plutarch's Lives") in relation to the social and political conditions in London and Stratford at the time of the play's composition, also offering new evidence that it was written in 1608.
