What is the best translation of Julius Caesar?

Question

Accepted Answer

For most readers, the Folger Shakespeare Library translation (1992) of Julius Caesar is the best place to start: For almost everyone, the Folger is the right Julius Caesar — facing-page glosses and scene-by-scene synopses make the rhetoric and the politics easy to follow. Cheap, and the classroom standard (this is the Shakespeare most American students meet first). This is where I'd start. For most scholarly, consider Arden (3rd series) (1998). For best one-volume scholarly, consider Oxford Shakespeare (1984). For for beginners, consider No Fear Shakespeare (2003). For free, consider Free (public domain) (1623).
