From Goodreads:"In this striking tragedy of political conflict, Shakespeare turns to the ancient Roman world and to the famous assassination of Julius Caesar by his republican opponents. Following a successful
campaign in Spain, Julius Caesar returns to Rome and is offered the
crown. Fearing for the Republic, Cassius heads a conspiracy to murder Caesar, enlisting the noble Brutus to his ranks. With Caesar dead, Mark Anthony turns popular opinion against the conspirators, leaving the audience to question the nature of honour, ambition and integrity as depicted in the characters of Caesar and Brutus."
We'll meet at the Library on Thursday, February 23, 2012, at 7pm to discuss this play.
Something new: Inspired by our discussion last night at the Library, in an effort to help those who would like to find out about new books coming out, I've created a "Reading Sites" page for the blog where I've listed several book sites that you can get to just by clicking on each name. Just click on "Reading Sites" which appears just under the blog logo above to get to the page. (If you use a book site that isn't listed, let me know what it is and I'll add it to the list! ~Jo)
Short Story Group reminder: We'll meet at the Library to discuss Edith Wharton's "All Souls" on Thursday, February 9, 2012, at 7pm. For more info, just scroll down to the previous post.
