Product Description

Product Description
The Oxford School Shakespeare is a well-established series which helps students understand and enjoy Shakespeare's plays. As well as the complete and unabridged text, each play in this series has an extensive range of students' notes. These include detailed and clear explanations of difficult words and passages, a synopsis of the plot, summaries of individual scenes, and notes on the main characters. Also included is a wide range of questions and activities for work in class, together with the historical background to Shakespeare's England, a brief biography of Shakespeare, and a complete list of his plays. For this new edition, the text of the play, the notes, and the introductory matter have all been revised so as to make them clearer and more accessible. In addition, the entire text of the book has been redesigned and reset to make it easier to read. Photographs of recent stage productions have been included and there is a new, attractive cover design. Roma Gill, the series editor, has taught Shakespeare at all levels. She has acted in and directed Shakespeare's plays, and has lectured on Shakespeare all over the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievably visual imagination., 25 Jul 2004
By the great amphibian "Ruthenphelphs" (Hampshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Reading Shakespeare is really a different experience from reading anything else; it involves a lot more aesthetic stimulation than normal reading. This is because of his very visual literal imagination, his very visual metaphorical imagination, his cleverness, and the non-stop brilliance of his verse. I finally picked up the complete works, thinking that it was going to be unreadable, but on the contrary; the play that I started with, 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', was possibly the most aesthetically written thing I have read in some time. I already knew the plot, having studied it at school along with Macbeth, and this made it much easier to read I suppose. But then my English skills have improved a lot since then. I read Goethe's 'Faust' recently, and I was impressed by that, but admittedly I think that Shakespeare is better. Here is a 'random' quote:
"Content with Hermia? No: I do repent
The tedious minutes I with her have spent.
Not Hermia but Helena I love:

Who will not change a raven for a dove?"
