| 2. Macbeth: The Cambridge Dover Wilson Shakespeare (Cambridge Library Collection - Literary Studies) | 
|
By: William Shakespeare Publisher: Cambridge University Press July 20, 2009
I ordered the Arden Shakespeare version of Macbeth and was sent the Signet Classic edition, which is also good, but of course we all like to get what we order. I suppose it was just a matter of misnomer, and I am relatively content with Signet.
Footnotes are decent, but any Shakespeare play should also be used in accordance with a Lexicon for a second definition if nothing else... more

| 3. The Winter's Tale: The Cambridge Dover Wilson Shakespeare (Cambridge Library Collection - Literary Studies) | 
|
By: William Shakespeare Publisher: Cambridge University Press July 20, 2009
Very informative edition of this difficult play. The notes helped clarify Leontes' extreme switch in behavior toward his wife Hermione - from love and trust to suspicion and ruthlessness. Would recommend this Arden Shakespeare edition to people encountering 'The Winter's Tale' for the first time(as I was) for edification and clarification. Linda Sheean... more

| 4. The Tempest | 
|
By: William Shakespeare Publisher: Digireads.com January 01, 2005
This edition is NOT the Folger Edition that has notes and definitions like the other reviewers have stated! It is just the text. I bought this for a class based on the reviews and was very disappointed. If you want the Folger Edition that these reviews are talking about, click on the link above their review. I now have to buy a different edition for the notes!!! Waste of money!!!... more

| 6. From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler | 
|
By: E. L. Konigsburg, William Shakespeare Publisher: Atheneum Books 1972-07
I bought this to listen to on my 30-minute daily drive, because I really like E L Konigsburg. The quality of the recording is excellent. The story is as funny and the children as charming as I remembered from the book. But it does not have the brilliance of The Outcast of 19 Schuyler Place or The View From Saturday... more

| 7. Works of William Shakespeare | 
|
By: William Shakespeare 1972-07
Hpw can this not be a great purchase if you want to read Shakespeare? (Of course if you'd rather read Clyde Custler, don't bother.) I downloaded this to my iPhone and read it use=ing the Kindle iPhone app. The screen is smaller than that of a dedicated e-reader, but it's certainly adequate for reading plays. It would be great on a Kindle. Read a couple of scenes or an act, close the app, turn it... more

| 8. Hamlet (Shakespeare Made Easy) | 
|
By: William Shakespeare Publisher: Barron's Educational Series October 01, 1986
Note that this review refers to the Oxford World's Classics edition of Hamlet. Amazon does a really terrible job of sorting out which editions of Shakespeare plays are the same and which are different, so this review will almost certainly be referred where it does not belong.
This edition, like most of the Oxford World's Classics Shakespeare editions, is outstanding. The introduction is... more

| 9. The Tempest: The Cambridge Dover Wilson Shakespeare (Cambridge Library Collection - Literary Studies) | 
|
By: William Shakespeare Publisher: Cambridge University Press July 20, 2009
Penguin needs to take more care before putting out the Kindle editions of their Pelican Shakespeare plays to make sure they're all properly formatted. This Pelican Kindle edition of The Tempest doesn't have active footnotes for the Kindle, unlike their edition of The Merchant of Venice which I downloaded at the same time. Without active footnotes, you have to click through several pages to get to... more

| 10. Twelfth Night | 
|
By: William Shakespeare Publisher: Digireads.com January 01, 2005
i thought it was a good story. it was not more than i expected, and it was not less. it was the same sort of shakespearian writing, and folger does a pretty good job of defining terms. as usual, i loved how folger put famous quotes at the end of the book, because i find that quoting shakespeare is a lot of fun. the story wasn't actually that interesting, though. kind of boring, since the reader... more
