The Best Romeo and Juliet I've found for teaching I've been teaching Romeo and Juliet to ninth graders for eight years, and this is by far the best edition I've used to teach. The commentary is helpful, and pointed out important topics for discussion. There is plenty of room to write notes in the margin -- in fact, I've got two copies, both with notes, so that I have an emergency backup! One of the most useful things I found in this edition is the character map in the beginning of the book, which I've modified into a handout that I give my students to help keep all the characters straight! I can't wait until Cliffs Complete has released versions of all of Shakespeare's plays! | ||
Full text + helpful information I have to say that the information given in this book was definitely helpful. I liked how they summarized the following scene at the beginning of the scene and had commentary on the scene at the end. The commentary is definitly helpful, although it could be a little bit more in depth in places. It is particularly helpful how they define terms in the margins that may be unfamiliar to readers. Most of the information in the introduction/bio of Shakespere/etc. wasn't new to me and it seems pretty similar to the introduction in their other books, but it is still helpful for review and to readers who are unfamiliar with this information. Definitly recommended. Excellent study tool. | ||
