Excerpt from Plutarch's Lives of Coriolanus, Caesar, Brutus, and Antonius in North's TranslationTms volume is designed first as an introduction to the complete Lives of Plutarch m Sir Thomas North's Splendid version, and secondly as an attempt to provide the student with a critical edition of the sources of Shakespeare's three Roman plays. Shakespeare's indebtedness to North is dis-1 cussed in every modern edition of these plays, but no editor of North hitherto has catered directly for the Shakespearean student, by supplying lineal references from the prose to the verse text.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
