OXFORD SCHOOL SHAKESPEARE SERIES

Edited by Roma Gill. Designed to make Shakespeare accessible to high school students, this series presents the plays with extensive glosses to aid in bridging the language gap. Introductions to each play offer sketches of the major characters; background information, such as Shakespeare’s sources, the actors he created parts for, and where the plays were performed; and textual clarifications, including the reasons for contractions and the meanings of stage directions. Illustrations and explanatory notes in the margins amplify the text. Questions with suggested answers and a brief biography of Shakespeare follow each play. Illustrated. 119–179 pages each.

Quantities are limited.
