| 2. Who Was William Shakespeare? (Who Was...?) | 
|
By: Celeste Mannis Publisher: Grosset & Dunlap December 28, 2006
Purchased as a birthday present for a 9 year old girl, this particular biography was chosen because Shakespeare was involved in a Doctor Who episode! The book did a wonderful job of adding reality to the fictional depiction used in the show -- and helped broaden her interest to the works of Shakespeare as well as making him a "real" person. The whole series of biographies was new to me, but it... more

| 3. The Works of William Shakespeare | 
|
By: William Shakespeare, Alexander Dyce Publisher: Nabu Press January 12, 2010
This rating, of course, refers to this digital version - not the literary content. This version froze two Kindles within the first 3 or 4 page clicks. I went to JC, my wife to Hamlet and right away we were both locked up. We were not able to turn off or reset. After about 2 or 3 mins both Kindles 'spontaneously' rebooted themselves. I took it off my wife's Kindle but decided to try again with mine... more

| 5. A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare: 1599 (P.S.) | 
|
By: James Shapiro Publisher: Harper Perennial June 13, 2006
There are two major reasons why this book will be a classic.
First, if you ever thought that after 400 years, there could be nothing new to say about William Shakespeare, this will prove you wrong. Although the author graciously acknowledges predecessors, his ability to place Shakespeare's plays within the context of their times is extraordinary. You have a much better grasp of the plays... more

(This review is for the talking book version of this play on compact disc by the "Complete Arkangel Shakespeare" and published by BBC Audiobooks America.)
"Too hot, too hot! To mingle friendship far is mingling bloods. I have tremor cordis on me,--my heart dances; But not for joy,--not joy.--This entertainment May a free face put on; derive... more

| 8. William Shakespeare Complete Works (Modern Library) | 
|
By: William Shakespeare Publisher: Modern Library April 03, 2007
This is the best Complete Works of Shakespeare that I own, and will likely to remain as such if the excellent people at the Arden Shakespeare do not deliver something magical when they most likely release a Complete Works set after wrapping up their third series editions in the next three years.
I will try to be brief yet lengthy enough to give you a good idea what this volume is all... more

| 9. Hamlet | 
|
By: William Shakespeare Publisher: Digireads.com January 01, 2005
I had the same formatting problems Chris did. The font changes every few lines, sentences start oddly in the middle of the screen and end abruptly where they should actually continue. It is very annoying to read and I am disappointed. I tried using several different font sizes on my Kindle 2.0, but it did not help. UPDATE: I downloaded the version that says Hamlet (mobi) for the same price and... more

| 10. Julius Caesar | 
|
By: William Shakespeare Publisher: Digireads.com January 01, 2005
Many years ago, I had a small role in a production of "Julius Caesar," playing Strato, upon whose sword Brutus fell at the close. Acting in a play provides a sense of what is at stake in a way that simply reading cannot accomplish (at least in my humble opinion).
This is the story of Julius Caesar's rise, the conspiracy organized against him (led by nobles such as Brutus and Cassius)... more
