Here are the books that help teach Shakespeare plays without the teacher constantly needing to explain and define Elizabethan terms, slang, and other ways of expression that are different from our own. Each play is presented with Shakespeare's original lines on each left-hand page, and a modern, easy-to-understand "translation" on the facing right-hand page. All dramas are complete, with every original Shakespearian line, and a full-length modern rendition of the text. These invaluable teaching-study guides also include:
William Shakespeare lived between 1552-1616, but his work endures and is enjoyed the world over.

June 03, 2008: This book was awesome! I read the modernized version (finished today), and now I am reading the original text. And I actually understand what is going on the in the play! My friend and I are reading it aloud, and if we don't know what a line means we just look at the next page and we can understand. It's a very good book overall!

June 30, 2005: This book was so good! The modern text helped me to understand everything that was said and done in the play. I recommend this to everyone, especially someone who has to read it for school, like I did.
