C. Bradley’s definitive lecture series, Shakespearean Tragedy; a facsimile of the First Folio edition of the text; a clickable word glossary with accurate modern definitions of words no longer in common use; a bibliography of critical works; a history of Julius Caesar in performance; and Internet links to Web sites devoted to Shakespearean scholarship.
