Description
Gaining much respect for its translation after its publishing, the English edition of Plutarch's Life of Caesar became a staple for any young reader. What would go on to become the main inspiration for William Shakespeare's famous tragedy, Julius Caesar, Plutarch's work provides one of the first accounts of Caesar's life. While Plutarch pulled heavily from Caesar's own military accounts, he also added personal opinions about the emperor's decisions, such as that regarding Caesar's refusal to divorce his wife, Cornelia. Critics believe that Plutarch's attitudes toward Caesar's campaigns and especially his assassination in his Life of Julius Caesar led Shakespeare to start composing his classic play soon after reading it.
