5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely useful for students, 23 Nov 2000

By	adeleclapp@hotmail.com (Reading, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Norton Shakespeare: Based on the Oxford Shakespeare (Paperback)

The Norton Shakespeare contains many useful notes throughout the book. This includes a summary before each play which gives an overview of the play with contextualisation whilst pinpointing the major issues. Each play also many editorial suggestions for help with the language of Shakespeare. At the start of the book is a very useful chronolgy of the English monarchs. There is also an introduction which gives much useful and interesting information which is helpful for anyone writing an essay on Shakespeare or gives much background information for anyone with an interest in this subject who doesn't know much about the period in which Shakespeare was writing. Overall it is a very helpful book with much extra information and a must for all students of Shakespeare.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Oxford Shakespeare, only with American footnotes, 7 Jun 2001

By	bargulus@iemail.com (Ilyria) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Norton Shakespeare: Based on the Oxford Shakespeare (Paperback)

This is a really useful edition of Shakespeare, especially for American graduate students. It's actually the Oxford text, prepared by Stanley Wells and Gary Taylor and a whole team of smart textual scholars in the 1980s, but with additional material -- notes, critical introductions and such -- by a clique of prominent American professors. Someone comfortable with Shakespeare's language should just buy the Oxford (which comes without footnotes, but with a glossary and a terrific general introduction), but in this guise as the Norton it is better suited to student use. Why Oxford didn't publish their own edition in a footnoted format for the undergraduate market remains profoundly baffling... But this Norton reincarnation is still the best footnoted single-volume Shakespeare on the market. One word of caution, though: not everyone will like the main introduction and the introductions to individual plays, which tend to depict Shakespeare as deeply complicit with all the things Americans are up to themselves but habitually displace onto the English -- imperialism, bigotry, sexism, etc etc. Shakespeare wasn't half as conservative as this lot make out -- but that's eminently clear from the plays, which are well-presented here in fully thought-out texts, and are more than capable of upstaging the critical apparatus for themselves.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ugly cover, 29 Mar 2009

By	D. Bence (Budapest, Hungary) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have no problems with the interior of this book, it is everything the other reviewers have said. What I have a problem with is its ugly cover: I mean, why do they have to write in mile high red letters on all sides that it is not to be sold in America?
Could they just go ahead and not sell it in America (which they actually do through Amazon) instead of issuing a very ugly cover for the "international student"?

Anyways, as this book is hopefully gonna be an integral part of your home library -- at least with its enormity -- you might want to invest a couple of extra pounds and buy an edition with a normal cover.
