AB  - Suggests that Antonio Schinella Conti’s Giulio Cesare (1726) and Voltaire’s La Mort de César (1735) are "reworkings, reappropriations and deliberate responses to the provocation that the ‘barbaric’ form of Shakespeare represented for neoclassical formal traditions." Shows how these adaptations reduce the number of characters, compress the action, and amplify classical themes.
