Product Description
"I feel that I have spent half my career with one or another Pelican Shakespeare in my back pocket. Convenience, however, is the least important aspect of the new Pelican Shakespeare series. Here is an elegant and clear text for either the study or the rehearsal room, notes where you need them and the distinguished scholarship of the general editors, Stephen Orgel and A. R. Braunmuller who understand that these are plays for performance as well as great texts for contemplation." (Patrick Stewart)
The distinguished Pelican Shakespeare series, which has sold more than four million copies, is now completely revised and repackaged.
Each volume features:
* Authoritative, reliable texts
* High quality introductions and notes
* New, more readable trade trim size
* An essay on the theatrical world of Shakespeare and essays on Shakespeare's life and the selection of texts
Book Description
John Dover Wilson's New Shakespeare, published between 1921 and 1966, became the classic Cambridge edition of Shakespeare's plays and poems until the 1980s. The series, long since out-of-print, is now reissued. Each work contains a lengthy and lively introduction, main text, and substantial notes and glossary.

 Great for a classroom! April 23, 2009
Ms. T in TX
I have used this recording with my students for several years and it does an excellent job of conveying how Shakespeare meant his play to be "seen." The actors do a great job of emoting as well as emphasizing what needs to be emphasized. It is easy to follow (sometimes a bit quick, but students catch up on it after a while). It is easy to read with the class (cd points stop with scenes, not in the middle of the action which makes it easier to pick up the next day). I would recommend this for any English classroom or anyone for that matter!
Smells like teen spirit March 30, 2009
B. Wilfong (Newark, OH)
Accurately portrayed teen angst is the key to R&J, and Shakespeare knocked it out of the park with this one. If one reads this play closely they will find the gorgeous poetry and subtle humor and vulgarity pleasing, but what is more pleasing to the mature reader is the acute portrayal of teens who think they are in love. This must have been the go to teen reference of its day. There is locker room talk between Romeo and his buddies, especially Mercutio. (Mercutio is one of Shakespeare's dirtiest characters, and one of his wittiest.) There is the horny teenager who flits from lust to lust with no thought of consequences, and there is the young girl who makes a serious attempt at very adult decisions. It is all there, and what is more the supporting cast of this play boasts some real genius of character. Lord Capulet is a ferocious father, who has a powerful temper and spirit, and Friar Laurence is one of Shakespeare's most ambiguously motivated characters.
One can read this play on the surface level and certainly enjoy it. I think most readers do just that. As do most of the productions I have seen. But there is a dark undercurrent to this play that will ring true with anyone who has ever dealt with that most powerful of emotions. Love.
Like Shakespeare's best, R&J will continue to yield new discoveries on each reading. As we mature in our lives, so does our understanding and appreciation of this play.
everything ok January 6, 2009

It took a little long (4 weeks) but the book came all the way from NZ ... so everything's just fine.
 Very difficult to hear May 10, 2007

If you are a teacher, I would look into buying another audio version of Romeo and Juliet. I have been using it as a tool to get the students to hear professional actors and to then ask them to use the same skills those professional actors use (inflection, emphasis, etc.) The problem is it is VERY difficult to hear...to the point that you have to sit 3 feet away to hear it at times. This simply does not work for a classroom.
John Andrews is the best March 18, 2007
mindyblue (Los Angles, CA)
The notes that John Andrews gives on all the Everyman Shakespeare editions that he edits are fabulous. I think his editions are the most user friendly for any actor, student, director and teacher. Some publishing house should get Mr. Andrews to do all the plays.
