Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakspere's Tragedy of Julius Caesar: Edited for School Use The text of this edition of Julius Caesar varies from that of the First Folio only where the latter seems clearly to be corrupt. In the punctuation of the text some approach has been made toward modern usage. The notes and other helps have been prepared with special reference to the requirements for entrance to the larger colleges, but they are not limited by such require ments. Effort has been made, in the Introduction, to give the student something of that sense of acquaintance with Shakspere, as aaman, which gives the true lover of the poet a personal interest in the plays and therefore a readier appreciation of them. The student has been aided, also, to get the poet's points of view. For, as Mr. Dowden observes, even Shakspere could not transcend himself; he had his points of view, not all of which were on Parnassus. One of them was in the audience for which he wrote. Always mindful of the ofi'ice receipts, the playwright habitually looked through the eyes of his Elizabethan playgoer, who, in turn, looked through the atmosphere of the times. It is desirable, therefore, to approach the reading of the play with a fresh sense of the conditions - within the playwright and without - that went to make it what it is.
