Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Shakespeare Made Simple(r)
I have been a student of English Literature for a long time. This volume - - with its invaluable notes - - helps one to more easily comprehend the subtle nuances of The Bard's choice of words. I had forgotten that reading - - and enjoying - - Shakespeare (without adequate notes) is practically impossible for a modern-day American.

The notes included here, on the page of the citation, can lessen the confusion while adding a true measure of comprehension to the play. I find myself "breezing" ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent and Highly Readable Shakespeare
I bought this for a class sort of against the professor's orders; he had recommened we get the Norton Shakespeare, but a number of the reviews for that volume had mentioned that the page were very fragile and also see-through. So I searched around for one that had been reviewed better and eventually bought this one, which I don't regret. This is a gigantic book, but it's still quite a bit smaller than many other complete Shakespeares, and it manages its compactness without sacrificing page thickness or having ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - All the World's A Stage.
The 1598 loss of their theater's lease should have been a major blow to the Lord Chamberlain's Men, one of Elizabethan England's premier acting troupes, who had gained even more popularity by teaming up with one Will Shakespeare, a Warwickshire glover's son come to London some six years earlier in pursuit of his Muse, leaving behind a wife and three children; daughter Susanna, born but seven months into his marriage, and twins Hamnet and Judith, who'd followed two years later. Yet, what to another company might ... Read More


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - A "complete Shakespeare" should actually be complete.
Why do we buy "complete" editions of Shakespeare, when individual plays are available in many excellent editions, reasonably priced, eminently portable, and offering far richer commentary than will ever be available in a single volume?

The one reason I can provide is that a "complete" Shakespeare is--or ought to be--just that: complete, including everything the author is generally understood to have written.

This edition of the Pelican Shakespeare has many virtures: it is handsome, high ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A must have!!
This is a must have for any student of literature or lover of Shakespeare. However, this is not meant to be light reading. If you are a student, particularly undergrad, you will be better served by cliffs notes or spark notes.
