A Probable Italian Source of Shakespeare's "Julius Cæsar"

I intend in this monograph to demonstrate the probability of Shakespeares indebtedness in the composition of the first three acts of his Julius Caesar, to the Cesare of Orlando Pescetti, an Italian tragedy on the same theme, first published at Verona in 1594.[1] This connection has never yet been demonstrated. The work seems almost totally unknown to the English literary world.[2] Shakespearean criticism, eager to investigate the smallest matters in regard to the great poet, is silent on Pescetti. I know of no French or German[3] references. In Italy, Pescetti has received scant notice; few writers have so much as mentioned Cesare, while not one has made any suggestion as to a possible connection between this play and Julius Caesar.[4] viiiThe inscription upon the title page of the 1594 edition is as follows: Pescettis work is in quarto, and consists of six pages of dedicatory matter, and one hundred and fifty pages of verse, for the most part hendecasyllabic varied with septenarians. In the tragedy proper there are nearly four thousand lines. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
