Praise for [The Sourcebooks Shakespeare] “The series will be immensely useful for A-level Drama, Theatre Studies and English Literature students as well as for undergraduates and for teachers at all levels.” “The emphasis on performance constantly sets these books apart from other Shakespeare editions, and interesting photographs from historic and contemporary productions offer an unprecedented view of Shakespeare on the stage and in film. The emphasis on performance certainly makes these editions more accessible and more meaningful than other text-only versions.” “For the student, they provide an excellent introduction to the play's major themes and a platform from which any novice (or expert) can explore the text.” “The really exciting feature of these editions is the audio CD…Extremely useful for instructors who want their students to think about differing interpretations of the lines. Good purchases for schools in which these plays are a part of the curriculum.” “A stunning undertaking.” “With the number of film adaptations of Shakespeare’s works in recent years, public libraries should seriously consider acquiring this series.” “Marvelous editions…They should go down a treat with all sorts of kids, large and small…Honored to be in such august company.” “Attractive, very readable, filled with great photos…A great contribution to educators, laymen, students and Shakespeare enthusiasts.” “Another cool book-and-disc combo, these editions of the bard’s beloveds offer the full illustrated text with an audio CD sporting numerous key scenes. A great idea.” “Marvelous…Highly recommended.” |
