Around 1599, after the plays on English history, Shakespeare began with Julius Caesar (1599-1600) the cycle of Roman tragedies (remontanod in the classical style). Caesar, a particularly fascinating figure for Elizabethans, is murdered in the first half of the play, but remains at the center of the action through the attitudes and reflections of the other characters. An extremely humanistic work in the analysis of the subjects.
If you're asking who, then there are several answers. Maya Angelou, Joan Baez, Harry Belafonte, Bob Dylan, Mahalia Jackson, Pete Seeger, Otetta Holmes, etc.
