At 18, Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway, the 27-year-old daughter of a local farmer, and they had their first daughter six months later.

A wonderful introduction covering the many aspects of how and why Shakespeare's Julius Caesar has been staged through time; insight into Shakespeare's motives in writing the play set in context of the Elizabethan court and much more. The likes of Catherine Belsey, John Drakakis and Alan Sinfield merit a solitary sentence each, and Coppelia Kahn, a mere two. He was born in Stratford-Upon-Avon, son of John Shakespeare, a prosperous merchant and local politician and Mary Arden, who had the wealth to send their oldest son to Stratford Grammar School. The introduction sets the play in the context of the last years of Elizabeth I s reign, with rebellion stirring and conflicts over the calenda. It also explains the conscious use of classical rhetoric in the language of Caesar himself, contrasting with the "modern" language of Cassius, and discusses Shakespeare's subtle use of his main source, Plutarch.Not to mention it took me nearly a month to receive the item, the one I received does no at all correspond with the description.
