British school kids are generally only force fed Shakespeare's romances and tragedies, leaving me to learn about the Romans from computer games and Gladiator instead

Suggestion for jp: look up my last posts in the Israel thread.

A suggestion for ralph: look up the tragedy Julius Ceasar by William Shakespeare. You might learn something worthy.
Julius Caesar, tragedy in five acts by William Shakespeare, produced in 1599–1600 and published in the First Folio of 1623 from a transcript of a promptbook. Based on Sir Thomas North’s 1579 translation (via a French version) of Plutarch’s Bioi parallēloi (Parallel Lives), the drama takes place in 44 BCE, after Caesar has returned to Rome.

Out of my sight! Thou dost infect my eyes.
Dukasaur wrote:I think you're being unfair, here, JP.
Everyone who classifies Shakespeare's plays admits that the categories are highly debatable, and many plays fall into more than one.
Most commentators do put Julius Caesar among the tragedies, but putting it among the histories is not unreasonable.
The first sentence of the wikipedia entry for it calls it both.
