Side-by-side helps enormously!
18 Nov 1999
Format:Paperback
The original text is why you buy it: nothing can beat the beauty of Shakespeare's English. BUT! Side-by-side with the modern English is why you UNDERSTAND it. Granted, all versions in print have the little notations which translate individual words. This book, however, also has stage directions, asides, nuances, historical references and translations of entire passages. With the true meaning in mind, you then go back to Shakespeare's version and it only enhances the beauty of how he penned it. I cannot praise this series enough. I only wish ALL of his plays were published this way (instead of just 10 of them).

My students were never so happy
16 May 2000
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
...as when I told them about this book. It makes both content and context much easier. They understand what is being said and why it is important. I recommend this series to anyone studying Shakespeare. It cuts through all the language barriers and leaves you with and easily understandable text.

Hard Work with a Reward
5 Jan 2001
Format:Paperback
It was the first play from Shakespeare I read, and it was really hard work for me to find out what sense of humour Shakespeare uses. In a way, all the characters in that play are fools, all in a different way. For example Orsino is a fool because he doesn't realise, that Olivia doesn't love him. He sends servants all the time for reading love poems to her. The only person who isn't a fool is the clown, who you expect to be the greatest fool of all. But he is a very intelligent man and knows the intentions of every person in the play. In a satiric way he shows them how ridiculous they really are. After a difficult start I really enjoyed reading the play, I just had to understand the old language of Shakespeare and his humour, which is so important for the comprehension of the play. this version of course helps a lot
